"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. . . . The most dazzling aspect of this dazzling book is the author's clear and engaging depictions of the intricacies of the business world of another century." -James W. Hall, author of Forests of the Night From the Hardcover edition.

Meet You In Hell
No one book can describe the consumate greed of these two "Titans of Industry". They epitomize the prevailing sense of wealth of that time. Hank and Andy were consumed by the buck. Andy had the good sense to give away all those libraries; Hank gave away some land for a park in his name and a library in New York. Andy lost his brother to alcohol; Hank lost his daughter to a freak accident. Hank was never the same. Even after Birkman's botched attempt on Hank's life did Hank labor on. The Homestead Strike (with Andy in Scotland) and Hank in the midst of it all pushed back the labor movement for decades. I was born and raised in Braddock, PA : the Town That Andy Created and had firsthand accounts of what it was like to live and work in a milltown. Almost everybody was beholden to THAT mill, named for the president of the PRR, Edgar Thomson. Yes, the book was worth the bux. ERGRead full review
