## Description

desertcart.com: Astor: The Rise and Fall of an American Fortune (Audible Audio Edition): Anderson Cooper, Katherine Howe, Anderson Cooper, Harper: Books

Review: Book club read - !I read this for book club. I really enjoyed it. I had little knowledge about the Astor's. I ended up doing even more research about different periods of time in America. I am going to go to The Tenement Museum in the lower east side to understand the conditions,of the poor in New York City. This was a good read
Review: A Readable, Though Selective, History Of The Astor Family - As they did in their earlier book on the Vanderbilts, Cooper and Howe have selected key family members and key events in their lives to tell the story of the Astors. The result is an entertaining and well researched (they even have footnotes this time) overview of the family that, quite literally, once owned much of New York City. The stories of the various family members are fascinating, and the authors add in quite a bit of sociological context that makes the book deeper and more relevant than a simple catalog of wealthy people and their foibles (though there is a lot of that as well). If you’re interested in the Astors, the Gilded Age, America’s class system or just like to read about rich people, you’ll enjoy this book.
