Friends, collaborators, and childhood rivals, Briton Hadden and
Henry R. Luce were not yet twenty-five when they started "Time,"
the first newsmagazine, at the outset of the Roaring Twenties. By
age thirty, they were both millionaires, having laid the foundation
for a media empire. But their partnership was explosive and their
competition ferocious, fueled by envy as well as love. When Hadden
died at the age of thirty-one, Luce began to meticulously bury the
legacy of the giant he was never able to best.
In this groundbreaking, stylish, and passionate biography,
Isaiah Wilner paints a fascinating portrait of Briton
Hadden--genius and visionary--and presents the first full account
of the birth of "Time," while offering a provocative reappraisal of
Henry R. Luce, arguably the most significant media figure of the
twentieth century.
Isaiah Wilner is a writer for New York magazine. He attended
Yale University and was editor in chief of the Yale Daily News. He
lives in Brooklyn, New York.
