Andrew Carnegie

I thought it was a great book. Very detailed and down to earth. It was not pretty in some respects as David Nasaw did no paper over the cracks and wrote the truth about Carnegie and not like his own autobiography as he made himself out to be some kind of saint I felt.

A well written biography which presents a very balanced view of the life and tomes of Andrew Carnegie.

The book was good quality and it was delivered very quickly.

This book has to read by everyone,it's Our social history about the people of the time,and a more Rags to Riches story like no other.

Everybody interested in the history of business and philanthropy should read about Andrew Carnegie. This book gives some fascinating and well-researched details of his remarkable life. However, this is a scholarly book rather than a riveting read and I found most of the 800 odd pages heavy going.

this was a very inspirational piece of literature. Very well written and filled with many practical examples.Will highly recommend it.

A fascinating account of a most remarkable man.

Arrived very prompt and brand new as indicated

David Nasaw’s biography does a great job of bringing the steel Baron Andrew Carnegie to life. It is well written, well researched and easy to follow.Some of the one star reviews on here have complained that it’s too long but Andrew Carnegie’s business career relatively ends at the end of the 19th century. The last 200 pages of the book is dedicated to Carnegie’s philanthropy and attempts at achieving international piece. Although you will learn about Carnegie’s rise in business and the methods used to accumulate his wealth this is not a business biography.You will not get a biography on the internal transactions of the Carnegie Company in great and exhaustive detail and for that I’m grateful. His business dealings are well documented but Carnegie the person, not the businessman, is the focus of this biography.

David Nasaw logra muy bien narrar la vida de Carnegie, desde su experiencia, personalidad etc

Was a bit dirty though..but was gud overall

Carnegie was highly intelligent, highly energetic, but an endless meddler in affairs outside his own business. A sycophant to those in power he sought out fame and recognition by association. Hated unions and was hugely flawed in the way he treated his workers, especially in the Homestead fiasco that he denied, to his dying days that he was a part of. In fact he knew and orchestrated every detail.A great book by Nasaw, who had access to the family archives and did a tremendous job of revealing Carnegie life and goals, including his mishandled ventures toward World Peace.

Bom!
