In "Palm Beach, Mar-a-Lago, and the Rise of America's Xanadu," Les Standiford chronicles the transformation of Palm Beach from a wild expanse of brush and mangroves into a luxurious haven for the elite, beginning with railroad magnate Henry Flagler's ambitious ventures in the 1890s. This captivating narrative explores the construction of iconic landmarks like the Royal Poinciana Hotel and the legendary Breakers, while also delving into the exclusivity and intrigue surrounding its most famous residence, Mar-a-Lago. Standiford's engaging prose brings to life the rich history and colorful characters that have shaped this iconic landscape over the past 125 years.
