Colby, Gerard
Du Pont Dynasty: Behind the Nylon Curtain
Publisher: Lyle Stuart, 1984 Secaucus, NJ.
ISBN: 0818403527 Book. Book condition: Good. Good. Hardcover 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall "Most Americans know the name Du Pont. But not as many are aware of the powerful family behind the world's largest chemical company. The Du Ponts are easily the richest family in America and one of the wealthiest and most powerful families in the world. From their fortress-like complex of buildings in downtown Wilmington, Delaware, they direct the workings of a vast network of interlocking companies that encompasses the world. They rule the state of Delaware as their private duchy, and they influence and control the lives of thousands of employees and millions of citizens. Here is the truly revealing story of this remarkable family, from the arrival in this country of Eleuthere Irenee du Pont, who was to found the firm that thought of itself as 'America's armorer, ' to the present governor of Delaware, Pierre S. ('Pete') du Pont IV, who many observers claim is already running for the 1988 presidential election. Along the way you will meet a host of colorful and, in some cases, infamous characters: Henry du Pont, 'The General, ' who conceived and made a fortune from the Gunpowder Trust after the Civil War; Alfred I. du Pont, 'The Count of Florida', who was instrumental in developing as well as plundering the resources of that state; and his wife, Jessie, whose surviving brother, Edward Ball, refused to relinquish her trust fund, which she had left to charity, in order to amass another Du Pont fortune. And finally, Irving Shapiro, recent chairman of Du Pont Company and the first outsider to manage the notoriously clannish Du Pont empire, who is overseeing enormous changes in the company's direction and the nation's laws. The incredible deals, ploys, plots and manipulations which gained their empire for the Du Ponts, as well as the bitter feuds and struggles within the family, are rescued from the elaborate coverups and silences that the publicity-hating Du Ponts have imposed over the years are explored in detail. No reader will come away from this book without a changed conception of the benign public image that the Du Ponts have presented to the world. When an earlier version of this book was published ten years ago, it was nominated for a National Book Award. It has not been vastly expanded to include such critical Du Pont strategies as its move from manufacturing into the national and international money markets. The long-term results, the author warns, could affect practically every living American." 968 pages with index. Book is in GOOD or better condition. Dust jacket is in GOOD condition; excessive edgewear.

A Solid Foundation...The Life & Times of Arthur W. Perdue
Publisher: Perdue Incorporated, 1976 Salisbury, MD.
Book. Book condition: Very Good. Good. Hardcover Signed by Arthur W. Perdue 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall INSCRIBED on half-title page: "To / Dick Moore / My editor friend / from / Art Perdue". Preface by Arthur W. Perdue. "During my first interview with Arthur W. Perdue, we reviewed only the highlights of his life, but as I left his office, I realized it would be difficult to adequately describe the attributes of this man known affectionately to so many as simply 'Mr. Arthur'. Months later I concluded that my first impression was still correct. Some people seem to experience two separate ages, one reckoned from their actual birth date and another reflected by their understanding, enthusiasm and outlook. Measured in terms of the latter, Mr. Arthur is young despite his 90 odd years. It seemed to me that the things Mr. Arthur believes in and stands for, coupled with his sincerity and warmth outweighed his many accomplishments, including the founding of a multi-million dollar business, one of the nation's largest and most successfully integrated poultry firms. The traits he had demonstrated throughout his lifetime, such as humility, faith, and self-discipline are difficult to describe fully, but they have been felt by everyone Mr. Arthur has come in contact with. These associates and many friends continue to be beneficiaries. Although he has worked with many types of people in a variety of capacities, both as an employee in his early years and later as an employer of hundreds, most of them look upon him as a co-worker rather than the boss. Perhaps the one word that can best summarize Mr. Arthur's many qualities is 'gentlemanliness, ' the trait which is most constantly demonstrated through is concern for other people. I don't feel that any publication can do justice to this man nor adequately tell what he has meant to so many people; however, this book was written to record at least a portion of not only the Perdue family history, but Mr. Arthur's own life. I feel it clearly shows that Arthur William Perdue built his business with his heart as well as his head..a solid foundation." Illustrated. x + 123 pages. This is a TALL hardcover (see photo). Book is in VERY GOOD condition. Dust jacket is in GOOD condition; edgewear.

Personal reminiscences of a man who was at various times the leader of various organizations including the Ohio Farm Bureau, CARE, The Cooperative League of the USA, and Nationwide Insurance. From the DJ: "..he discovered cooperatives as the most practical, the most democratic, and to him the most natural, way to increase the farmer's income..as his concept of cooperation grew to embrace the city dweller as well as the farmer, the consumer as well as the producer, the attacks came from all sides: from banks, from big business, from the government, even from within the cooperative movement itself."
