The Patriarch

Susan E. Tifft and Alex S. Jones draw on a host of previously untapped sources to tell how three generations of Binghams built and ruled one of the nation’s preeminent newspaper companies, a business that seemed certain to endure as a family enterprise, yet did not. Based on years of archival inquiry and hundreds of interviews with Bingham intimates and family members, this is the definitive biography of this astonishing American dynasty. 16 pages of black-and-white photographs.
