READ THIS: Memoirs: David Rockefeller
The Rockefeller Family has had an undeniable lasting impression on Manhattan, and this family member is no different. Tracing his history from early childhood to an afterword addressing September 11, David Rockefeller has led an illustrious life internationally, most notably as CEO of Chase many decades ago.
Whom You Know was initially attracted to the book as Peachy Deegan wondered what it would have been like to grow up as a Rockefeller (although she is happy to have grown up a Deegan) and what one did when you were "of age"- and she was not disappointed at all. The sheer intelligence and ambition of David Rockefeller is evident in the 500 page autobiography that stretches across decades of his life and the history of Manhattan.
The high-caliber work of international relations, philanthropy, culture and politics is certain to impress any reader who is curious about the world around him/her and the history of one of Manhattan's most prominent families.
