About the Book

Friends, collaborators, and childhood rivals, Briton Hadden and Henry R. Luce were not yet twenty-five when they started Time, the first newsmagazine, at the outset of the Roaring Twenties. By age thirty, they were both millionaires, having laid the foundation for a media empire. But their partnership was explosive and their competition ferocious, fueled by envy as well as love. When Hadden died at the age of thirty-one, Luce began to meticulously bury the legacy of the giant he was never able to best. In this groundbreaking, stylish, and passionate biography, Isaiah Wilner paints a fascinating portrait of Briton Hadden-genius and visionary-and presents the first full account of the birth of Time, while offering a provocative reappraisal of Henry R. Luce, arguably the most significant media figure of the twentieth century. Isaiah Wilner is a writer for New York magazine. He attended Yale University and was editor in chief of the Yale Daily News. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.

Review :
"a riveting narrative...part THIS SIDE OF PARADISE, part CITIZEN KANE...skillful storytelling." -- Wall Street Journal "[Britton Hadden's] precocious rise and then gradual effacement is the fascinating story of Isaiah Wilner's The Man Time Forgot." -- New York Times Book Review "The author fleshes out his subject with plenty of detailed description. This is biography at its best and most compelling." -- The Portland Tribune "Biography at its best and most compelling." -- The Portland Tribune "[a] remarkable book....Mr. Wilner makes his case convincingly" -- The New York Sun "Illuminating." -- The New Yorker "Deeply-researched . . . media-watchers will revel in this." -- Fortune "this [is] David McCullough-style 'interesting history'...a strenuous intellectual enterprise." -- Deseret News "This fascinating book uncovers a media scandal that was buried for almost 80 years...groundbreaking biography." -- Tucson Citizen "a breezy, readable...study of two smart, driven men and their complicated partnership...Wilner's book provides a welcome, engaging corrective." -- Providence Journal "An intriguing and depressing tale, related with great skill and compassion." -- Kirkus Reviews "his scintillating biography...is a perceptive psychological study and cultural history, with a touch of ink-stained romanticism." -- Publishers Weekly "With access to the Time archive, Wilner offers...the excitement of a new media enterprise launched...by two fascinating figures. -- Booklist
