"Portions of this book have previously appeared in Southern Magazine." This is the story of a controversial American dynasty that's generated one of the most heated publishing debates in years! David Chandler's reveting expose of the rise and fall of one of America's most prominent and fascinating families was scheduled for release by another publisher but then, on the eve of publication, it was suddenly and mysteriously canceled." A very interesting book that is a biography. "Behind the headlines and the nightly news reports of the family feud that destroyed one of the South's great media empires is a haunting saga that reveals the skeletons in the closet of the Binghams of Louisville. Based on the meticulous research of previously unknown and unpublished information (including private papers, court records, letters, photographs, and scores of interviews) David Chandler, a Pulitzer Prize winning reporter, sheds light on the dark and tragic past to reveal the family's present problems." A must read book and priced affordably so you can. This is one book you will want to read and then share with other readers. *6BC4
