  • A GREAT biography of Andrew Mellon
    It took me a while to read but I was sad when it ended.
    I came upon this book one day and saw the reviews and
    decided I needed to read about this man.
    A very well written biography of one of our Great American
    business men. I enjoy reading biographies and this one
    really kept my interest. The art work Mellon purchased
    is outstanding. I must go to the museum in Washington
    and view this outstanding art work. Mellon lived a very
    intriquing life. I truly enjoyed... more info

  • Mellon
    It is a complete history of the Mellon family from their immigration from Ulster in 1815 to the death of Andrew Mellon. It absolutely shows the vindictiveness of Franklin Roosevelt in his attempt to convict Andrew of tax evasion and the generosity of Andrew with his gift of the National Gallery of Art and its original paintings to the people of the United States.

  • Simply the best biography I've ever read.
    This beautifully written and fascinating portrait of Andrew Mellon is the single most compelling biography I can ever remember reading, as well as the most interesting history lesson I've ever had. An amazing piece of work.

  • A biography that goes above and beyond.
    Cannadine exceeded expectations on a number of fronts with this definitive biography of Andrew Mellon. It has everything you'd expect from a grade-A biography, laying out where Mellon's family came from (both physically and philosophically), how Mellon grew up, his rise, peak, eventual fall from grace, death and legacy. Not only that, but Cannadine does all of this exceedingly well, giving his reader a sense of the nuances and subtleties of Mellon's personality and life. If Cannadine had done nothing else,... more info
