"The story of a family that turned a small eighteenth-century legacy into a huge twentieth-century fortune, creating one of the world's greatest brands. From modest beginnings in County Kildare, ... this ... tells how the Guinnesses wove their way to wealth and social success through often troubled times. It covers their roles in Irish and British politics as well as business and society and the scandals and controversies which sometimes embroiled them ... and the financial skulduggery which surrounded their final step into the ranks of the super-rich in the late nineteenth century"--Publisher's description.
