Captains and the Kings

The Story of an American Dynasty

De: Taylor Caldwell

Narrado por: Susie Berneis

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.

This series is the best in all my reviews. I never tire of listening to it.

I never tire of listening and watching this Audible book. The author and reader do a great job.

This is one of favorit all time books.

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.

Interesting

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

Taylor Caldwell did it again!

Outstanding!!! One of the best books I have ever read. You cannot read this amazing story and not think of the Kennedys

Very special!

I will miss the fabulously complex characters and the glorious reading of this novel! Captains and Kings an amazing tale!

a must read.

this book should be read by every high school senior. a real look at the early 1900.

Best writing…wisdom and insight for the ages

Taylor Caldwell was a very wise woman. Her writing is exceptional and her insights apply to today’s society and politics as well.

excellent.

the story is more on point in 2017 then it was in 1972 and it was written.

very engaging

gripping story that keeps you engaged the whole way. full of grit and the reality of a young America

Best book ever written

I have read and listen to this more than 3 times and marvel at the words that describe such detail and so well read in audio.
The story tells so much of what is making the country into what it is today.
The powerful are so destructive 😅
