Lenzner leaves us spellbound by this man of many contradictions." - William E. Simon, former Secretary of the Treasury. "An eloquent and terrible warning to all who are struggling to get rich." - John Kenneth Galbraith. "Very interesting and enjoyable reading about a fascinating man." - Donald T. Regan, Chief of Staff to the President of the United States. "A compelling account of a miserable yet fascinating man who for all his personality defects was 30 years ahead of the world in high-stakes empire building." - Seymour Hersch, author, The Price of Power. "It reads like a thriller. Absolutely chilling. Like watching a cobra devour the world." - Erich Segal. "Hadrbitten oilman, spectacular lover, absent parent, miserly art collector, philandering and bigamous husband, bohemian expatriate, social snob, physical coward, Hitler sympathizer, writer, master businessman, and the richest man in the world -J. Paul Getty was all these things and more. Now, in The Great Getty the real Getty is revealed at last. Jean Paul Getty was, by 1957, the richest man in the world - and the richest mane ever to pay only $500 or less a year in income taxes. By the time Getty was 24, he had made his first million, become estranged from his very proper parents, and gotten slapped with a paternity suit. By 1930, he had married and divorced three different teenaged girls within five years - only to marry twice more, one time neglecting to divorce his previous wife first. After wresting control of the family trust from his deaf and aging mother, Getty established himself in the midst of the Depression as an international oilman - one of thefirst to see the potential of Arab oil - and an international bon vivant. Using never-before-examined sources, Robert Lenzner reveals Getty's long romance with Adolf Hitler's Third Reich - a romance so vivid that the State Department considered Getty dangerous and took away his passport. Living out of hotel rooms on two continents and running his business out of shoe boxes, Getty eluded the "Nazi" tag and established his company as the powerful "eighth sister" of international oil. J. Paul Getty collected oil shares, art, and women. He attempted to become a British aristocrat, installed guards in his bedroom and a pay phone for his guests - and gave a start to an ambitious you man called Claus von Bulow. (Years later, Getty's son would secretly underwrite von Bulow's murder defense). Surrounded by a bevy of young women, Getty spent his last years writing his sons in and out of his will. One died young of a brain tumor, one became a drug addict, and another was a probable suicide. When J. Paul Getty died in 1976, he left behind a fortune in art and oil that soon became worth over $6 billion. And he left behind as well a reputation as the savviest, most compelling, and contradictory business genius ever." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Well, this terrific book tells what it's like - for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, for as long as George Steinbrenner remains the principal owner." - Dave Anderson, New York Times sportswriter. "No other book that has been written about the Yankees brings you under the circus tent the way this one does. Madden and Klein tell it like it was - and is." - Reggie Jackson. "This is the book George Steinbrenner is going to hate - and baseball fans are sure to love. This is Damned Yankees - the explosively revealing, mercilessly hilarious dissection of "the Bronx Bombers" by two of the most experienced and insightful reporters in the game. Damned Yankees is the firsthand, behind-the-scenes account of how chaos, confusion, and craziness pervaded the once proud and mighty New York Yankee franchise and doomed it to a decade of decay. The man to thank is a man of action and vision, a volatile and exacting shipbuilder from Tampa named George Steinbrenner. It was Steinbrenner who bought the team in 1973, rebult it into a World Series champion, and then plunged it into a state of constant turmoil that hopelessly destroyed its quest for sustained success. Damned Yankees abounds with tales of team mischief and mayhem. For the first time anywhere, you'll see the real reasons why, despite their falling fortunes in the standings, this ever-battling and babbling, colorful cast of characters never ceased being a top-selling attraction. And you'll witness these and other spectacles: Steinbrenner's fight in a hotel lobby with the Yankees' traveling secretary; Yogi Berra's profanity-laced tirade after the "Boss" had berated him and his coaches; Billy Martin's characteristic drunken stupor during the winter meetings.and the time he could be heard scratching at the door as reporters were briefed on trade talks within; One bad-luck pitcher's crippling hyperventilation when told he'd be starting in Yankee Stadium.and another's habitual wildness that resulted in a fan being hit by an errant pitch; The practical joke that had pitcher Joe Cowley believing he'd just had sex with a transvestite; The absurd-even laughable-lengths to which Steinbrenner went to conceal player injuries; Steinbrenner's self-aggrandizing publicity efforts, including a calculated attempt to exploit the "last call" he'd placed to Bart Giamatti shortly before the commissioner's death; The real story behind the "sinking ship' exodus of top team personnel at the close of the Steinbrenner Yankees' "worst-ever" 1989 season. Damned Yankees gives you the game as the reporters themselves live it - chronicling a unique team ever on the edge of hysteria, while they themselves barely avoid getting caught up in the madness that reigns in the magic kingdom ruled by the "Boss." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
