The Poisoned Well
The Poisoned Well is the true, cautionary tale of what happens when lust for wealth is allowed to become a destructive obsession. In this Kindle eBook, Rich details both a startling family scandal and the process of unearthing his parents’ secrets when he was almost 40 years old. The story he documented made front-page news when it was featured in the weekend magazine of Norway’s largest newspaper, AftenPosten, in June of 2022 (“Arven Som Forsvant” written by Carl Alfred Dahl).
The Enlightened Self Interest of Hilmar Reksten
For decades, Norwegian historians have debated via their books, films, plays and articles whether 20th century billionaire shipping magnate Hilmar Reksten was a patriot who protected and enriched the interests of the Norwegian nation, or whether he was a swindler who cloaked a monumental tax scandal under a quilt stitched together with patches of feigned Norwegian nationalism. In this ground-breaking Kindle biography, Rich shines an entirely new light on this fascinating historical character. He combines new insights found in his collection of private family correspondence with the existing historical record to tell Reksten’s story in an entirely new way – for the first time in English.
