A very interesting read. I was eager to learn about the rise of the steel industry and the partnership of these two men. It really wasn't surprising to learn that neither Carnegie or Frick were lovely human beings. The horrible events that occurred at Homestead definitely proved that there was very little regard or respect for the men who worked for them.

Loads of info here for anyone interested in labor and industrial history in the US. As a child of the rust belt, I learned a lot more than I previously knew about local steel producers and their histories.

I can't really rate this as I did not really dig too deeply into this book, but to me, it reads like a textbook. If historical facts are you jam, you might like it - but this is definitely not narrative nonficton.

Was not terribly interesting. No grand insights into either great man. Better off reading a Wikipedia article on the two plus one on Homestead Strike, you'd get the same information in far fewer unnecessary words.
