Title: Chernow has done it again
Product review: Ever since reading Alexander Hamilton I've been a fan of Chernow's. His research is impeccable and his writing is clear and engaging. In Titan, his portrait of John D. Rockefeller is superb. Chernow provides a balanced view of this complicated persona, and places Rockefeller's life and accomplishments in context, traveling through more than a century. In terms of the story itself, one especially fascinating element is the dichotomy between Rockefeller's religious beliefs and business escapades, and how he (rightly or wrongly) justified his actions to himself. Another aspect is the evolution of the man from Robber Barron into possibly the world's greatest philanthropist, and philanthropic innovator. Overall, this is a terrific book about a extraordinary subject.Steven K. GoldAuthor,Entrepreneur's Notebook: Practical Advice for Starting a New Business Venture
