Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller, Sr.
Ron Chernow's definitive biography of John D. Rockefeller, the driven, devout oil baron who became America's first billionaire.
Ron Chernow’s biography traces the long life of John D. Rockefeller, from a hard childhood to his creation of Standard Oil and the vast fortune that made him America’s first billionaire. Chernow weighs the ruthless monopolist against the devout, penny-counting philanthropist, refusing to flatten either. The result is a detailed portrait of the man and of the industrial age he helped build, and of the questions about wealth and power he still raises.
