Raves and Reviews
In American Dynasties Rachel Dickinson delivers a proper primer on a sampling of the funneling of talent – and often luck – through the generations of oligarchs and artists. Missteps get repeated, but often so do successes. The unpredictable nature of American society, according to Dickinson, makes it so there is no consistent playbook.
– Robert Strauss, author of Worst. President. Ever. and John Marshall: The Final Founder
