Mayer, Jack and Harry Warner, and Adolph Zucker are giants in the history of contemporary Hollywood, outsiders who dared to invent their own vision of the American Dream. Even to this day, the American values defined largely by the movies of these émigrés endure in American cinema and culture. Who these men were, how they came to dominate Hollywood, and what they gained and lost in the process is the exhilarating story of <i>An Empire of Their Own.</i><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Neal Gabler is the author of five books: <i>An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood, Winchell: Gossip, Power and the Culture of Celebrity, Life the Movie: How Entertainment Conquered Reality</i>, <i>Walt Disney: The Triumph of the American Imagination</i>, and, most recently, <i>Barbra Streisand: Redefining Beauty, Femininity and Power</i> for the Yale Jewish Lives series.
