"Considering that the publisher sent it to me blind as a potential textbook supplement, I wasn't expecting much. It's a utilitarian read, but it did help me to understand two of the major industries in western PA: coal and steel."
"If you like business and you like history, you should read this short (200 pages) book. I didn't know much about Carnegie, so I found this reasonably interesting, but certainly not revelatory.
This is not a thought-provoking book unless you are interested in the business side and business lessons of Carnegie's life (as opposed to Titan, Rockefeller's 700 page, highly nuanced biography)."
