"The Vanderbilts were one of the great American families of the industrial era. This book explores the life of William Kissem Vanderbilt II, known simply as Willie K. This biography is an exploration of the burden of enormous wealth, the danger of inherited dreams, and the agonistic struggle for self-actualization regardless of wealth or social status"--Provided by publisher.
