The Marshall Fields

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

From the son who may have been shot by a chorus girl to the great-great grandson who used his millions to create Hollywood fantasies, Fields descendants have caromed wildly between rebellion and folly. Their story offers a new and penetrating take on wealth, success, and the nightmare that often accompanies the American dream.
