Andrew Carnegie Paperback - 2007
by David Nasaw
Celebrated historian Nasaw, author of "The Chief: The Life of William Randolph Hearst," brings new life to the story of one of Americas most famous and successful businessmen and philanthropists, deftly placing Carnegies life in a cultural and political context.
Summary
In this magnificent biography, celebrated historian David Nasaw brings to life the fascinating rags- to-riches story of one of our most iconic business legends-Andrew Carnegie, America's first modern titan. From his first job as a bobbin boy at age thirteen to his status as the richest man in the world upon retirement, Carnegie was the embodiment of the American dream and the prototype of today's billionaire. Drawing on a trove of new material, Nasaw brilliantly plumbs the core of this fascinating and complex man, at last fixing him in his rightful place as one of the most compelling, elusive, and multifaceted personalities of the twentieth century.
