Vanderbilt: The Rise and Fall of an American Dynasty

byAnderson CooperandKatherine Howe

Anderson Cooper & Katherine Howe uses Vanderbilt to investigate the Rise and Fall of an American Dynasty through a carefully framed biographical portrait. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of biography & autobiography and history. Attention to evidence keeps the discussion anchored while allowing disagreement, uncertainty, and unintended consequences to remain visible. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
