In a compulsively readable story of privilege and revenge, John Seabrook explores his complicated family legacy: a farming family from the bean fields of southern New Jersey that became as wealthy, glamorous and powerful as Gilded Age aristocrats.

The autocratic patriarch, C. F. Seabrook, hailed as the Henry Ford of agriculture; his son Jack poised to take over what Life magazine called ‘the biggest vegetable factory on earth’; and the Swiss bank accounts, half-truths and liquor that cracked a carefully cultivated façade and led to the implosion of the family business.
