TITAN 👍👌🏽
In this endlessly engrossing book, National Book Award winning biography Ron Chernow devotes his penetrating powers of scholarship and insight to the Jekyll and Hyde of American capitalism. In the course of his nearly 98 years, John D. Rockefeller, Sr. 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, they bogeyman of reformers, the delight of caricaturist and an utter enigma.
Drawing on Unprecedented access to Rockefeller's private papers, Chernow reconstructs his subject's 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 "to give all I could", his devotion to his family, and the wry sense of humor that made him the country's most colorful codger. Titan is a magnificent biography, balanced, revelatory and elegantly written.
