Millions have sat under the "big top," watching as trapeze artists
glide and clowns entertain, but few know the captivating stories
behind the men who shaped the circus. Battle for the Big Top is the
untold story of the battles of the three circus kings--James
Bailey, P.T. Barnum, and John Ringling-all vying for control of the
vastly profitable and widely influential American Circus. New York
Times bestselling author Les Standiford recreates a remarkable era
when a community-without regard for gender, creed, or
nationality--would be captivated by the spectacle created by three
diversely talented individuals who transcended the ordinary.
Ultimately, the rivalry of these three men resulted in the creation
of an institution that would surpass all intentions and, for 147
years, hold a nation spellbound. Filled with details of their
ever-evolving showmanship, business strategies, and personal
magnetism, this Ragtime-like narrative will delight and enchant
circus-lovers everywhere.
