[Read by Allen O'Reilly]Based on hundreds of interviews, ''Sons of Wichita'' is the first major biography about the wealthy and powerful Koch family - warts and all. Not long after the death of his father, whose heart gave out suddenly in November 1967, Charles Koch - then in his early thirties - discovered a letter his father had written when his four sons were small. ''My dear boys,'' it began, ''when you are twenty-one, you will receive what now seems to be a large sum of money. It may either be a blessing or a curse.'' ''Above all,'' he cautioned, ''be kind and generous to one another.'' In the ensuing decades, Fred's legacy became a blessing and a curse. Two of his sons, Charles and David, joined forces to build Koch Industries, one of the largest private corporations in the world.
