Rockefeller, Sr.","description":"\u003cp\u003eNational Book Critics Circle Award Finalist\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the acclaimed, award-winning author of Alexander Hamilton: here is the essential, endlessly engrossing biography of John D. Rockefeller, Sr.—the Jekyll-and-Hyde of American capitalism. In the course of his nearly 98 years, Rockefeller 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, the bogeyman of reformers, the delight of caricaturists—and an utter enigma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on unprecedented access to Rockefeller’s private papers, Chernow reconstructs his subjects’ 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 father; and the wry sense of humor that made him the country’s most colorful codger. Titan is a magnificent biography—balanced, revelatory, elegantly written., ISBN13:9781400077304 ISBN10:1400077303 Material Type:paperback\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52514166833459,"sku":"A.20.7 F_04-18-25_ART_H00005JG","price":13.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/61wB730RT7L.jpg?v=1760383393","url":"https:\/\/cheapbookdepot.com\/products\/titan-the-life-of-john-d-rockefeller-sr-new","provider":"Cheap Book Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
