"...a fascinating biography of the man who built the biggest steel company in the world..." (Glasgow Evening News, 20 December 2003)
"Seizing the mantle that J. F. Wall has held since 1970 as Andrew Carnegie’s definitive biographer, Peter Krass has written a superb new account of the legendary industrialist and philanthropist’s remarkable life."
Barron’s
"An objective and readable portrait of a fascinating, conflicted man."
Dallas Morning News
One of the major figures in American history, Andrew Carnegie was a ruthless businessman who made his fortune in the steel industry and ultimately gave most of it away.
In this compelling biography, Peter Krass reconstructs the complicated life of this titan who came to power in America’s Gilded Age, exploring the contradictions in the man who rose from lowly bobbin boy to build the largest and most profitable steel company in the world. Krass examines how Carnegie became one of the greatest philanthropists ever known and earned a notorious reputation that history has yet to fully reconcile with his remarkable accomplishments.
Selected by Library Journal as one of the best business biographies of 2002
