About This Book
The story of a millionaire who was soft enough to buy a stricken film company because of one woman, and hard enough to make more millions after she died. The story of the girl he made into a star, of the heroes he bought and sold. The story of Hollywood at its most flamboyant, and big business at its biggest. The Carpetbaggers is full of sharply drawn characters who seek endlessly for power and love.
