Based on 31 personal interviews with former
Gulf American Corporation, GAC/Avatar Holding
company officials and supplemented by articles
from 25 different newspapers, this book provides
a comprehensive and fascinating look t the
Gulf American Corporation-the largest land sales firm
in the US in the 1960's. In many ways the story of Gulf American
is a rags-to-riches tale of Leonard and Julius (Jack) Rosen,
complete with intrigue, and the fluctuations of fortune that
matched the rising tides that covered much of the land they sold.
