The Chains
Condition remarks:
Book: Good
Jacket: Very good
Pages: Good
Markings: No markings
From the acclaimed author of Holocaust comes a sweeping multi-generational saga of the Chain family—three generations of brothers forged in the hard-knock streets of Brooklyn and the corridors of power. The story begins with Marty Chain, a tough, street-wise immigrant who fights his way up from poverty, only to see his ambitions and his flaws mirror-imaged in his sons and grandsons. The narrative spans decades of American history, from the early days of union organizing and organized crime to the high-stakes world of modern politics and law. The tension centers on the internal struggle of the Chain men: their desperate need for success versus the moral "chains" of their heritage and the secrets that bind them together. As the family rises in status, the stakes grow higher, and the rivalries between the brothers threaten to dismantle everything Marty built. Gerald Green delivers a gritty, high-tension portrait of an American dynasty, exploring the heavy price of the dreams that drive us and the blood ties that can either save or destroy a family.
