William Lowell Kane and Abel Rosnovski--two men from widely different backgrounds, whose driving passions are overshadowed only by their obsession to destroy each other.
One, a millionaire Boston brahmin, the other, a penniless Polish immigrant--two men born on the same day in 1906, on opposite sides of the world, reaching the top in twentieth-century America.
Spanning sixty years, KANE & ABEL is the enormously compelling story of these two ruthless, powerful businessmen, whose ultimate confrontation rocks the financial community--and their personal lives.
