House of Hilton

This intimate and thoroughly unauthorized portrait of the Hiltons chronicles the family's odyssey from poverty and obscurity to glory and glamour. From Conrad Hilton, the eccentric "innkeeper to the world" who built a global empire beginning in the Depression with a fleabag in a dusty Texas backwater, to Paris Hilton, his great-granddaughter, whose fame took off with a sex video, this book is the portrait of one of America's most outrageous dynasties.--From publisher description.
