Description
Praise for Palm Beach, Mar-a-Lago, and the Rise of Americaâ€s Xanadu:“Les
Standiford tells the fascinating story of how the mansion-turned-club, and the unusual community
that surrounds it, came to be in his latest book . . . [He] does a fine job of telling its story.――
Tampa Bay Times“In this charming, zippy history of Palm Beach, Les Standiford charts the
destinationâ€s fortune from its founding in the 1800s to the modern day. All of the familiar Palm
Beach characters, from Henry Flagler to Addison Mizner and Marjorie Merriweather Post, are on
hand for a rollicking, informative lesson in real estate, American history, and current events.――
Town & Country“A book that will appeal to nose-pressed-against-the-glass readers.――
Economist“The author of Last Train to Paradise tackles a topic that Palm Beachers know all
too well: Mar-a-Lago. Standiford chronicles how the cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post and
her husband E.F. Hutton built the Gilded Age mansion that is now dubbed ‘The Winter White
House.â€â€•â€•Palm Beach Post“When there is a good story to tell, Les Standiford knows
how to tell it great.――FIU News“Standiford returns to the Floridian territory of the rich and
famous that he chronicled in his biography of Henry Flagler, but this time the author will likely
attract even more readers with the newly relevant Mar-a-Lago . . . Recounts the epic struggle of
the ultrawealthy to transform what are now known as Palm Beach, Boca Raton, and Key West into
a previously unimaginable enclave for conspicuous consumption.――Kirkus Reviews
“Mar-a-Lago immediately conjures references to Donald Trump. However, this detailed social
history of Palm Beach, Florida, reveals that Mr. Trump is only one of the many celebrities, political
figures, and mega-rich entrepreneurs associated with this exclusive enclave . . . This is enjoyable
social voyeurism for those who hanker after tales of the rich and famous, past and present.――
Booklist“A readable history of the wealthy Americans who developed Florida for their
vacationing pleasure . . . This chronicle focuses less on the personalities of the rich and famous
and more on land acquisition and building, about which Standiford writes effortlessly . . . Will
appeal to those interested in business history.――Publishers Weekly“A Florida tale always
has unpredictable turns, and Les Standiford has the craftsmanship to guide us through in an
utterly engaging way.――Mark KurlanskyPraise for Les Standiford: “Hubris and gilded
dreams are good subjects for Standiford, who has previously written about Henry Frick and
Andrew Carnegie, among others; he artfully captures small moments while maintaining the
historianâ€s broader view . . . Like Mulhollandâ€s aqueduct, the book covers a lot of ground

while moving along in episodic but dramatic fashion.――New York Times Book Review, on
