Brewers and Bankers, Ministers and Missionaries
When the first Arthur Guinness sunk his meagre savings into a small brewery on the banks of the River Liffey in Dublin he could not have foreseen the dynasty of brewers and bankers that he would found. This brilliant history, spanning two hundred years and five generations of one of the most famous families in the world, has all the drama and suspense of any fictional family saga.
This is the full story from the inauspicious eighteenth-century beginnings right through to the present day with the family's ups and downs, its meteoric rise to its tragedies and reversals of fortune. This is a tour de force which lovingly does justice to a remarkable dynasty.
