A player, banker, businessman and statesman, Harriman (1891–1986) inherited a $100 million railroad fortune. He began his polo career with the Sands Point and Aknusti teams of the 1920s and ’30s. He won the U.S Open in 1925 with his own Orange County team and in 1927 with Sands Point, as well as the Monty Waterbury Cup in 1924 and ‘28, and the 1933 Junior Championship with Aknusti.

He was a breeder of polo ponies and often cited as having the finest strings in the sport. He was the head of the National Polo Pony Society, which kept a registry of USPA-approved studs, mares and foals. Playing at No. 1 in the first Cup of the Americas in 1928, he scored 12 goals in three games, surpassing Tommy Hitchcock’s 10.

A Challenge For All Liberals
Format: Paperback
I thought the book was well-written, impeccably sourced, wide-ranging, and with a thesis that can't help but make you think. Well worth your time.

The history is unpleasant and therefore worth knowing.
It's a wonderfully enlightening history of how European explorers visited, settled in, conquered, and exploited other continents with unparalleled cruelty in the name of power, greed, and their "loving" religion that brought them misery, exploitation and, all too often, abject slavery.

Wonderful History Lessons
I ordered this book to use for a college paper I was writing and found it fascinating. I enjoyed the content and learned much from it. The history is written in a manner that for those people that either don't read much or don't like to read (yes, there are a few people out there), it will draw you in and make you question the history lessons we suffered through in high school.
