Born in New York City in 1915, he graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard in 1936. In 1939, he married Janet Man in a ceremony conducted by then mayor Fiorello LaGuardia and then joined his father in the construction business, known as M. Shapiro & Sons, building homes and apartments from New England to Kansas, housing 150, 000 people in fifteen states. At the end of a decade in business, he published his first novel, The Last Temptation, which was a New York Times bestseller and a main selection of the Literary Guild. During the succeeding thirty years he built M. Shapiro and Sons into Presidential Realty Corporation, a multi-faceted publicly traded real estate company, serving at various times as Chairman of its Finance Committee, its Executive Committee and as President. In that period, he produced three more major novels, To Love and Corrupt (1962), Monkey on a String (1968), and Life Lines (1982); each was a selection of a major book club. He also found time to sit on the boards of many other corporations, and was a leader of the Human Rights Commission in Stamford, Connecticut during the most intense period of the civil rights struggles in the 1960s."
