In The Establishment, Howard Fast pulls the listener into the turbulent and passionate lives of the Dan Lavette family story begun in The Immigrants and continued in Second Generation. Howard Fast again brings to life a cast of characters whose lives become a portrait of their time. Listeners will witness the events in the lives of the children of Dan Lavette: Follow daughter Barbara Lavette, a strong and magnetic personality, from tragedy to final fulfillment; observe the elder son, Tom, as he quests for and finally succumbs to his own unscrupulous drive for power; and feel the conflict as the younger son, Joe, struggles between dedication to his medical work to the poor and having no emotional strength left for his beautiful wife left alone.

The Bookcassette® format is a special recording technique developed as a means of condensing the full, unabridged audio text of a book to record it on fewer tapes. In order to listen to these tapes, you will need a cassette player with balance control to adjust left/right speaker output. Special adaptors to allow these tapes to be played on any cassette player are available through the publisher or some US retail electronics stores.

Seller: Grants Books, Belding, MI, U.S.A.
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Book Club Edition. The story covers a time of great turbulence and the Lavettes are at the center of things- a civil rights lynching in the South, the Six Day War in Israel, the undercover violence of the Nixon years, Vietnam, riots in the streets. But there are moments of immense satisfaction too, as the children in the third generation of Lavettes take their place in society and make a statement for their own ideals. And for Barbara there is a brief and bittersweet marriage, an affair whose deeper possibilities remain always to be explored, and the final and continuing elation of being a truly independent person- powerful, strong-willed, and infinitely capable of meeting trouble head on.
