Trade PaperbackĀ
832 pages
National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist
From the acclaimed, award-winning author ofĀ Alexander Hamilton: here is the essential, endlessly engrossing biography of John D. Rockefeller, Sr.āthe Jekyll-and-Hyde of American capitalism. In the course of his nearly 98 years, Rockefeller was known as both a rapacious robber baron, whose Standard Oil Company rode roughshod over an industry, and a philanthropist who donated money lavishly to universities and medical centers. He was the terror of his competitors, the bogeyman of reformers, the delight of caricaturistsāand an utter enigma.
Drawing on unprecedented access to Rockefellerās private papers, Chernow reconstructs his subjectsā troubled origins (his father was a swindler and a bigamist) and his single-minded pursuit of wealth. But he also uncovers the profound religiosity that drove him āto give all I couldā; his devotion to his father; and the wry sense of humor that made him the countryās most colorful codger.Ā TitanĀ is a magnificent biographyābalanced, revelatory, elegantly written.
