Today Lipton means tea. However, in his time Sir Thomas Lipton
was known for much more than the Lipton tea empire. Raised in
desperate poverty, he would build a global empire of markets,
factories, plantations, and stockyards. But his epic pursuit of the
America's Cup--a yachting trophy and the ultimate in international
sport--made him a beloved figure on both sides of the
Atlantic.
More than a story of innovation and achievement, "A Full Cup "also
explores Lipton's most intriguing creation: his public persona,
formed by a burgeoning mass media and a shameless self-promotion
that made him one of the most recognizable figures of his time.
Michael D'Antonio brings to life the surprising careers of this
intrepid sailor, gregarious showman, and ingenious self-made
millionaire--the world's very first celebrity CEO.
