About this product
Product Information
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. He used his wealth to ascend the world's political stage, influencing the presidencies of Grover Cleveland, William McKinley, and Theodore Roosevelt. In retirement, Carnegie became an avid promoter of world peace, only to be crushed emotionally by World War I. In this compelling biography, Peter Krass reconstructs the complicated life of this titan who came to power in America's Gilded Age. He transports the reader to Carnegie's Pittsburgh, where hundreds of smoking furnaces belched smoke into the sky and the air was filled with acrid fumes ...and mill workers worked seven-day weeks while Carnegie spent months traveling across Europe. Carnegie explores the contradictions in the life of 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.

The book is exactly as described and arrived in the expected time frame. Before purchasing this book on Ebay, I waited two months before Booktopia notified me that the item they sold me was still on backorder. I cancelled it and went to Ebay. The product came within a week. Thank you very much. I will definitely come back to this shop.

The first book arrived with minor damage - a crease to the cover and first 15 pages. The cheap packaging probably didn't help. The seller said they would send another copy. It duly arrived - in exactly the same type of packaging - this time with minor damage to the base of the spine and back cover. I've had enough! As this book was intended as part of a gift - I'd rather return both copies - and spend $60.00+ to buy another one from a different seller - rather than waste any more time here.
