Great Fortune: The Epic of Rockefeller Center

EUC Paperback was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Daniel Okrent weaves together themes of money, politics, art, architecture, business, and society to tell the story of the majestic suite of buildings that came to dominate the heart of midtown Manhattan and of tycoon John Rockefeller, son Nelson, real estate genius John R. Todd, and visionary skyscraper architect Raymond Hood. The book is a stunning tribute to an American landmark that captures the heart and spirit of New York.
