Two founding fathers of American industry.One desire to
dominate business at any price.
The author of Last Train to Paradise tells the riveting story of
Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick, and the bloody steelworkers’
strike that transformed their fabled partnership into a furious
rivalry. Set against the backdrop of the Gilded Age, Meet You in
Hell captures the majesty and danger of steel manufacturing, the
rough-and-tumble of the business world, and the fraught
relationship between “the world’s richest man” and the ruthless
coke magnate to whom he entrusted his companies. The result is an
extraordinary work of popular history.
