Alphie McCourt grew up in Limerick, Ireland, where he witnessed the departure of his father and the misery he left behind. His loneliness grew deeper as each of his older brothers (Frank, Malachy, and Michael) left for America, and in 1959, he followed them. Alphie’s adolescence in New York was marked by aimlessness and too much drink. After an Irish law student suggested that he return to Ireland to study law, he tried his luck back in Dublin. Returning to America three years later, Alphie settled in California, where he discovered marijuana and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Ultimately his immigrant roots called him back to New York, and after many struggles both personal and professional, Alphie fi nally lands on fi rm ground—fi nding peace in the greatest city in the world.

The colorful, true-life tale of Alphie McCourt—youngest brother of Frank and Malachy—and his escape from a miserable child-hood in Limerick, Ireland, to a new life in America.

In 1988, Forbes Magazine hailed Chuck Feeney as the 23rd richest American alive. Born during the Depression, Feeney had made a fortune as co-founder of Duty Free Shoppers, the world’s largest duty-free retail chain. How he did it is one of the great untold retail stories of modern times. But the greater untold story is that Feeney had in fact given away his fortune, in its totality, to endow Atlantic Philanthropies—one of the most generous and secretive philanthropic funds in the world. Atlantic Philanthropies is committed to giving away all its $4 billion in assets during the next decade, an unprecedented example of the “giving while living” philosophy. Through his generosity, Feeney’s infl uence has become even more impressive than his wealth.

The extraordinary true story of one of America’s wealthiest men—and how he gave away his fortune to help others.
