So on May 20, 2014 a new book will be released entitled Sons of Wichita which is primarily about the Koch brothers. Over the years I have uncovered some interesting documents like the trial between the Koch brothers which can be found here. I also covered Koch estate planning here, and did a three part series on the trial Koch brothers here (I, II, and III).Actually I pre-ordered record the book from Amazon in November when I first learned about it. The book had a sales rank near 10,000 over this past weekend and jumped today to about 500 or so on Amazon. I would be willing to predict it becomes a best seller (given how many people actually have no idea who the Koch brothers are/they have some interesting stories to tell: billionaires, family battles, and building a business). I was glad to see the book is over 400 pages and according to the book website will be based on thousands of "never before seen documents" and "hundreds of interviews".
Personally I think the book should be a good read. My own prediction is the book will cover much of their political activities. Also I think the average person who reads it (maybe Harry Reid included) will learn how the Koch brothers actually built a business and the personalities of each of the Koch brothers.
Most likely I will read the book in a night (okay let's be realistic most likely over Memorial Day weekend) so and provide a review on here.
