Meyer Guggenheim a Swiss immigrant founded a great American business dynasty. At their peak in the early twentieth century the Guggenheims as a family were reckoned among Americas wealthiest and the richest Jewish family in the world after the Rothschilds. They belonged to Our Crowd that tight social circles of New York Jewish plutocrats but unlike the others-primarily merchants and financiers-they made their money by extracting and refining copper silver lead tin and gold. The secret of their success the patriarch believed was their unity and in the early years Meyers seven sons under the leadership of Daniel worked as one to expand their growing mining and smelting empire. Family solidarity eventually decayed (along with their Jewish faith) but even more damaging was the paucity of male heirs as Meyer and the original set of brothers passed from the scene. In the third generation Harry Guggenheim Daniels son took over leadership and made the family a force in aviation publishing and horse racing. He desperately sought a successor but tragically failed and was forced to watch as the great Guggenheim business enterprise crumbled. In The Guggenheims through meticulous research and absorbing prose Irwin Unger the winner of a Pulitzer Prize in history and his wife Debi Unger convey a unique and remarkable story-epic in its scope-of one familys amazing rise to prominence. eBook<
