Andrew Carnegie, who lifetime spanned th era from the beginning of the Industiral Revolution to the First World Was, was America's first modern titan. He is the embodiment of the american dream, a rags-to-riches story of one of our most iconic business legendsa. A ferocious businessman and capitalist a self-educated writer, peace activist, philanthropist, lover of culture, avid sel-promoter, and vehement proselytizer of the virtures of American democracy - Carnegie has remained, to this day, an enigma and a man of striking contradictions.
