Kingdom: The Story of the Hunt Family of Texas

Kingdom: The Story of the Hunt Family of Texas by Tuccille, Jerome. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781587982262.

H.L. Hunt (1889-1974), considered at one time to be "the worlds richest man," amassed his fortune through fair means and foul, according to Tuccile (vice president, T. Rowe Price Investment Services), who profiles him and his family in this business-oriented biography. Although Hunts far right wing politics, Christian fundamentalism, and other personal qualities are discussed, the emphasis of the work is on the familys business activities, including their involvement in the silver crash of 1980. This is a paperbound edition of a work first published in 1984. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
