Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. xiv, 466 pages. Footnotes. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliographical Notes. Index. DJ has slight wear, soiing and sticker residue. An epic account of how Texas oil transformed wealth and power in America is presented through the stories of the state's four most influential oil families, tracing how they rose from modest backgrounds, shaped the government, and bankrolled the nation's largest rise of modern conservatism. The Big Rich tells the story of four Texas oil men and their families that made large fortunes in the oil industry: Hugh Roy Cullen, Clint Murchison, Sid Richardson and H. L. Hunt. Bryan Burrough (born August 13, 1961, in Tennessee) is an American author and correspondent for Vanity Fair. He has written six books. Burrough was a reporter for The Wall Street Journal in Dallas, Texas, between 1983 and 1992. He has written for Vanity Fair since 1992. While reporting for The Wall Street Journal, he won the Gerard Loeb Award for excellence in financial journalism three times. Burrough has written a number of book reviews and op-ed articles for publications such as The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post. He has also made appearances on Today, Good Morning America, and many documentaries. Phenomenal reviews greeted the hardcover publication of The Big Rich, New York Times bestselling author Bryan Burrough's spellbinding chronicle of Texas oil. Weaving together the multigenerational sagas of the industry's four wealthiest families, Burrough brings to life the men known in their day as the Big Four: Roy Cullen, H. L. Hunt, Clint Murchison, and Sid Richardson, all swaggering Texas oil tycoons who owned sprawling ranches and mingled with presidents and Hollywood stars. Seamlessly charting their collective rise and fall, The Big Rich is a hugely entertaining account that only a writer with Burrough's abilities-and Texas upbringing-could have written. Derived from a Kirkus review: An "epitaph," as Vanity Fair special correspondent Burrough calls it, for a storied, moneyed time that defines the Lone Star State's self-image. No matter how the fortune was made, the pattern is the same: The first hardscrabble generation fights to get rich; the second becomes respectable, makes lots more money and gives money away; the third generation drinks, snorts and whores its way to the poorhouse. Thus, the course of Burrough's "big rich" families: the Hunts, Richardsons, Cullens and Murchisons, who came out of the West Texas dust or the South Texas swamps to make astounding fortunes, turn Dallas into a prairie paradise and build mansions that you could lose a herd of cows in. The first generation, writes Burrough, was 'the original Beverly Hillbillies, counting their millions around the cement pond as they ogled themselves on the corner of Time.' But they were no simpletons. H.L. Hunt made much of his money not in oil but in real estate. Hunt had a deep, almost innate understanding of how markets and politics work, and he wielded tremendous power after earning a fortune in a time of severe economic depression precisely because other oil operators did not spend money exploring. Hunt did, only to see his fortune dwindle in the hands of his heirs and eventually collapse in the oil-eating recession of 1979. Others of Burrough's "big four" along similar rise-and-decline-and-fall pathsâ"but not, as he writes, before they helped install the likes of George W. Bush, Tom DeLay, Phil Gramm and other into office. Full of schadenfreude and speculationâ"and solid, timely history too. Artikel-Nr. 86108
