Description
The Guggenheims
John H Davis account of one of the richest and most influential families in history. Their name is everywhere in our culture and represents the accomplishments of some of the Jews in this century. Yet there are no Jews carrying the name today. To say nothing of the fact that the immigrant Meyer Guggenheim pursues wealth so obsessively he transforms himself from a beggar to a millionaire. In like manner, Simon Guggenheim buys himself a seat in the United States Senate. Not to mention the fact that there is no success without failures, there is also greed, mistrust, and selfishness in this extraordinary family.
