“Every ’old’ book is a ’new’ adventure for anyone who has ’never’ read it.” ®
Description : From the jacket flaps…
This is a great surging novel about the amassing of a colossal fortune, the political power that comes with it, and the operation of a curse laid on an Irish-American dynasty and the ruthless, driving man who founded it.
Joseph Francis Xavier Armagh was twelve years old when he first saw America through a dirty porthole on the steerage deck of The Irish Queen. It was the early 1850’s and he was a penniless immigrant, an orphan cast on a hostile shore to make a home for himself and his younger brother and infant sister.
Some seventy years later, from his deathbed, Joseph Armagh last glimpsed his adopted land from the gleaming windows of a palatial estate. A multi-millionaire, one of the most powerful and feared men, Joseph Armagh had indeed found a home.
Captains and the Kings is the story of the price that was paid for it in the consuming, single-minded determination of a man clawing his way to the top; in the bittersweet bliss of the love of a beautiful woman; in the almost-too-late enjoyment of extraordinary children; and in a curse which uses the hand of fate to strike in the very face of success itself.
Once again, Taylor Caldwell has looked into America’s roistering past as a setting for a drama of the consequences of savage ambition – and its meaning then and now.
