Seller's Description:
Very good in Very good jacket. 624 pages. Illustrations. Notes. Index. Minor wear and soiling to DJ. The sequel to The Rockefeller Century surveys the family's story from 1952 to the present, revealing the public uses of the vast Rockefeller wealth, as well as the private dramas that have shaped such use. Authors Harr and Johnson are the only historians who have had access to previously secret family archival materials. Derived from a Kirkus Review: In The Rockefeller Century (1988), Harr and Johnson paid lengthy tribute to the philanthropies of three successive John D. Rockefellers. Picking up where they left off, the authors now use the career of JDR III as the centerpiece of another prolonged examionation that advances the family chronicle from the early 1950's, when JDR, Jr., retired, to the 1978 death of his namesake. As before, Harr and Johnson (both former Rockefeller aides) have had exclusive access to private archival sources, plus the cooperation of surviving family members. Even a short list of the worthy causes to which JDR III committed himself and his inherited wealth is impressive. Among other activities, he was a motive force in Asia Society, Colonial Williamsburg, Lincoln Center, and Population Council. Harr and Johnson provide behind-the-scenes glimpses of how large foundations operate on a workaday basis, of the ways in which trusts can be structured to ensure that future generations remain moneyed, and of what happens when unanticipated economic or fiscal developments leave the genuinely affluent short of cash, they provide detail and some insight. The authors postulate a sense of stewardship as a key factor that impelled JDR III to devote himself to a form of public service.
