My new update in 2021 looks into the darker side of oil tycoon Armand Hammer, a man skilled in bribing his way of the art, business ad political world. Born in 1898 in New York City, he rose to a position of eminence in the next 90 years that he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Collecting old masters and young mistresses along the way, Hammer used his secret connections with the Soviet Union to rise to the apex of power in American political circles. Edward Jay Epstein not only traveled with Hammer, he obtained his files from the KGB archive as well as secretly recorded cassettes of his bribes. His book about him, which won the Booz Allen-Financial Times prize for best business book as well as best business biography, is a study in manipulation by one of of the world’s greatest masters od manipulation.
PRAISE FOR DOSSIER: THE SECRET HISTORY OF ARMAND HAMMER
Winner of the Financial Times / Booz Allen & Hamilton Global Business Book Award for both best biography and best business book for Dossier: The Secret History of Armand Hammer.
"In "Dossier: The Secret History of Armand Hammer," Edward Jay Epstein’s fascinating, painstakingly researched book, Hammer’s old life is revealed in fascinating detail, exposing him as the liar and conniver that he was/Among Epstein’s more shocking revelations is that Hammer acted as a virtual spy for the Soviet Union, a conduit for money that financed Communist espionage operations." – Los Angeles Times
"Edward Jay Epstein opens his life of Armand Hammer with a line from Balzac: ”Behind every great fortune there is a crime.” He then goes on for some 400 absorbing pages to prove what a wise chap Balzac was, certainly in Hammer’s case. Much of it reads, indeed, like a long-suppressed secret file. We already knew of the public Hammer, self-professed humanitarian, philanthropist, art patron. Now we have the Hammer of the dossier, a morbidly fascinating compound of ambition, greed, unscrupulousness and power hunger." – New York Times Book Review
"Edward Jay Epstein’s Dossier: The Secret History of Armand Hammer especially claims our gratitude because its protagonist would otherwise have been forgotten and his fortune, his monuments, and the whole huge mound of his frauds long since gone up in smoke." -New York Review of Books
