"I would give this book 3 1/2 stars. I read it for school, so just off the bat I am not going to like it because I had to read it. The only problem I had with it was that it was slow to the point, but I really think it had a really good underlying message that especially now when greed has taken over this country. Money isn't the key to everything and it is good to learn that lesson more than once because it is something that I really think would make a lot of people's life a lot easier."
"One book by Les Standiford will lead you to another book by Les Standiford. One can't resist his quirky call. A nice small-scaled study of these two outsized characters -- bastards both, though Carnegie managed to do a lot of postumous mopping up of his mess."
"Facinating story, one that I had never heard. The author does a pretty good job staying neutral, not siding with the workers, or the owners. The writing was a little dry, but hey its a book about business."
"Good book about the rags to riches Dale Carnegie and Henry Frick. Gives a clear idea that disputing is a profitable business and that just good friends can become mortal enemies. Intense scenes especially at the Homestead Massacre though everywhere else is somewhat dry. Kind of a history buff book"
