Joseph Armagh was 13 when he first saw America through a dirty porthole on the steerage deck of The Irish Queen. It was the early 1850s, and he was a penniless orphan cast on a hostile shore to make a home for himself and his younger brother and infant sister. Some 70 years later, from his deathbed, Joseph Armagh last glimpsed his adopted land from the gleaming windows of a palatial estate. A multimillionaire, one of the most powerful and feared men, Joseph Armagh had indeed found a home. Captains and the Kings is the story of the price that was paid for it in the consuming, single-minded determination of a man clawing his way to the top.

As Timely today as when written. I heard glimpses of the Kennedy's woven into the history a hundred years before.

I loved this book years ago and this audible book does it justice. The characters are well defined and the actor does a fine job developing their personalities. It's a long book but worth the listening. Scary, but relatable to today's politics also.

This is one of favorit all time books.
