Reviews"A muscular, enthralling read that takes you back to a time when two titans of industry, Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick, clashed in a battle of wills and egos that had seismic ramifications not only for themselves but for anyone living in the United States, then and now. . . . So engaging I found myself wishing only that it were longer." -Dennis Lehane, author of Shutter Island and Mystic River "This superbly researched and beautifully written account of the expression of business genius a century ago illumines both the sociopathy and the generosity that then as now characterize the dynamics of capitalism." -Robert A. G. Monks, principal of Lens Governance Advisors and coauthor of Corporate Governance "Les Standiford's novelistic genius brings alive the familiar story of Carnegie and Frick with clarity and verve and a fresh eye. . . .
