About This Item

A tight and unmarked copy-Armand Hammer: The Untold Story - An Unauthorized Biography-Revised and updated-" From Publishers Weekly: With broad archival research and hundreds of interviews (though none with Armand Hammer himself), University of Missouri journalism professor Weinberg portrays in depth a unique 20th-century character. A one-time M.D., capitalist benefactor of an infant U.S.S.R. and friend of Lenin, U.S. importer of Czarist art, big-time post-Prohibition distiller, world-class oil tycoon, and self-appointed adviser to seven American presidents, Hammer, now 90, according to the author, used personal contacts with every Soviet leader after Stalin to conduct behind-the-scenes cold-war diplomacy while building up his Occidental Petroleum Co. in Texas, California, Great Britain, the U.S.S.R., Libya, Israel, and China. He has bought, sold, and given away fine art on a grand scale and donated millions of dollars to medicine, education, and cultural exchanges. Weinberg bitingly records Hammer's acute self-esteem, alleged sharp practices, and questionable dealings. But his buoyant subject's achievements in many directions remain overwhelming.
