Description
Empire
THE UNTOLD STORY BEHIND THE BATTLE FOR THE ULTIMATE PRIZE
"Great business writing and even greater gossip . . . [Pacelle] has great fun with the bizarre cast of characters who plot and connive against one another in what reads like a cross between film noir and a Harold Robbins novel." ––Publishers Weekly
"Empire is a fascinating and entertaining 'biography' of one of the twentieth century's greatest landmarks, complete with a cast of unsavory characters with egos and ambitions to match the Manhattan skyline. Pacelle gives a fine architectural and economic history of America since the Depression, but his lucid prose and gift for narrative make the book read like a first–rate mystery novel." ––Ross King, author of Brunelleschi's Dome: How a Renaissance Genius Reinvented Architecture
"In his well–crafted chronicle, Mitchell Pacelle captures the manic ambitions and outsized egos of the real estate tycoons who would own America's ultimate trophy property." ––James Hirsch, author of Hurricane: The Miraculous Journey of Rubin Carter
