Synopsis "J. P."

J.P. is a historical novel chronicling the life of US industrialist and banker J.P. Morgan. You think you know him. Think again. The March 2013 centennial of his death is time for a fresh assessment of the man J.P. Morgan. The image that most have of the 19th Century banker is at best very shallow and at worst totally wrong. His life story is one of passion, romance, high drama, and is monumental in its impact. His love life was doomed. In his early passion he finds the love of his life only to have it tragically taken away. Late in life, too late, he finds love again. In his attempts to build strong and long lasting companies, in his frantic collection of art, in his many trips to Egypt, he spent his life seeking a measure of immortality. Then, toward the end of his life, he watched as much of what he had done is torn apart. His life is truly a 'Clash of the Titans, ' both in fighting petty selfish interests of others tearing apart his attempts to bring order and stability to the railroad industry, and in his epic life long rivalry with E.H. Harriman. But he realized in the end, too late, they were both working toward the same goal. In the classic tradition of Greek Tragedy, it is the story of a flawed man fighting against his fate. It is a study of the human spirit confronting the human condition.
