"A first-rate biography of an extraordinary man." --Andrew Tobias.
David Rockefeller once deemed Andr-eyer "the most creative financial genius of our time in the investment banking world." Andr-eyer was also known as "The Picasso of Banking" and "The Incomparable Investor," but probably his most notable achievement was his ability to completely and single-handedly revitalize American business after World War II. Cary Reich presents an illuminating portrait of this ferociously energetic, charming, and ruthless businessman who was a trusted advisor of the Kennedys and an intimate of William Paley and Katherine Graham. Reich goes into detail about Meyer''s immigration from Nazi-occupied France, his prowess on the Monopoly board of business, and some of Meyer''s lasting business legacies--now household names--including Avis and Holiday Inn.
