Summary
"This is the unauthorized true story of one Brooklyn family--how their lives were completely transformed by the simplest of inventions--and the spectacular fortune that followed. This is the story of how 'Uncle Marvelous' took over the Cumberland Packing Corp. and how Sweet 'N Low became a global phenomenon--and then was nearly run into the ground. While the company was being infiltrated by corruption, there was also a terrible scandal happening inside the family--an entire side of the family was written out of the grandparents' wills and out of the enormous Sweet 'N Low fortune. Plus, the story of postwar Brooklyn, the dieting craze in America, sugar, and organized crime."--Jacket
