"This is a biography of, you guessed it, Andrew Carnegie. He's an incredibly intriguing historical figure. At 800 some pages, this book is quite a tome. But, it's well worth the time commitment and effort. Trust me on this. I especially recommend this book to folks who have an interest in American libraries an entrepreneurship. Carnegie was very instrumental in bringing many libraries to small communities across the U.S."

    " Very detailed biography of philanthropist. Paints a true portrait of a man that did incredible things by giving away his fortune, and establishing a trust that would continue his work after his death. Doesn't sugar coat his imperfections. "

    " Needed more biography and less quoting of every single letter, telegram, editorial, pamphlet and speech that A.C. gave over 80 years. The 801 pages felt padded by all the quoting when a simple, "in AC's letter to TR, he urged the president to eshew militarism." would have sufficed. "
