"The Gilded Leaf" is the riveting, dramatic saga of the R. J.
Reynolds tobacco family, one of America's richest and most
intensely private clans. R.J. was the original founder of the
company that became part of RJR Nabisco, which in 1988 was involved
in the largest business takeover in history. Spanning three
generations, the Reynolds's story moves from the triumphs of
founder and corporate genius R. J. to the dissipation, scandal, and
tragedy that plagued his children and grandchildren. There is a
redemptive close, with grandson Patrick Reynolds founding Smokefree
America and becoming a leading anti-smoking advocate.
"The Gilded Leaf" presents, for the first time, a "complete"
account of the family who captured, spent and redeemed the American
dream.
