Reichmanns: Family, Faith, Fortune and the Empire of Olympia & York By: Anthony Bianco

An exhaustively researched and laid out look at the Reichmann family from pre-nazi Hungary to the 90's-their rise to international domination as property developers to their spectacular bankruptcy in three countries and their phoenix like rise again!  All of this is accomplished while staying true to their faith (even in development and construction-learning how they managed this while not working themselves, or allowing any work by others in their companies during Shabot-is nothing short of extraordinary).  Some of the story can be a bit dry-but it really has to be in order to understand the ins and outs of the Olympia & York companies and it's complicated and convoluted workings.
