Review
“Masterful . . . Standiford has a way of making the 1890s resonate with a twenty-first-century audience.” —USA Today
“To the list of the signal relationships of American history . . . we can add one more: Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick . . . The tale is deftly set out by Les Standiford.” —Wall Street Journal
“The narrative is as absorbing as that of any good novel—and as difficult to put down.” —Miami Herald
“Standiford tells the story with the skills of a novelist . . . a colloquial style that is mindful of William Manchester’s great The Glory and the Dream.” —Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
“A muscular, enthralling read that takes you back to a time when two titans of industry 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.” —Dennis Lehane, author of Mystic River
