About this ebook
Two brothers, as different as night and day: one, charming and ruthless, buys his way into Harvard, Wall Street, and high society; the other brother remains by his mother's side and makes his way to the top without the influence of money or prestige.
Raised in separate worlds, these brothers are bound by a bitter rivalry for riches and power, but mostly, for the exciting, wildly captivating woman they fight all their lives to possess, a woman whose passion for one destroys her love for the other.
Their story consumes an American century, spanning decades of splendor, struggle, upheaval, and war. It's an absorbing saga of innocent dreams and green desire corrupted by gilded temptation.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Great book if you can't sleep! It put me to sleep within a page or two every time I tried to read it!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I feel as if I should've been drawn into this book more than I was and that it should've affected me more than it did. A great story of war, leadership, and human relationships, but I just felt as if I never became immersed in the story and the characters the way I thought I would be - something held me back, but I don't know whether it was me, or something in the writing.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I was both delighted and disappointed with this book. The archetypal solemn, midwestern hero was a compelling character. The military and historical anecdotes and clever dialogue where enjoyable. However, the book followed the same old pattern throughout, action scenes where only the hero had the wisdom and fortitude to pull out a victory for the good guys with pages on end of painful, shallow relationships impacted by the military lifestyle. There is one thing that the book really does well, it leads you to fully realize the horrors of war and the greed and unthinking selfishness of men that brings us there.
