Highly Recommended Biography

The author went to great lengths (several hundred footnotes) to present an accurate bio of a very important business man in American history.

I have often wondered if great wealth can be accumulated by honest means? This author makes the case that this was the case with John D. Rockefeller, Sr and Jr.

I plan to read other points of view before I make my conclusion. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed every chapter and my knowledge of American history was greatly expanded.
