Description

On this grand-scale narrative history, two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist H. W. Brands brilliantly portrays the emergence, in a remarkably short time, of a recognizably up to date The united states.
 
American Colossus captures the decades between the Civil War and the turn of the twentieth century, when a couple of breathtakingly rich businessmen transformed america from an agrarian economy to a world power. From the first Pennsylvania oil gushers to the upward push of Chicago skyscrapers, this spellbinding narrative shows how men like Morgan, Carnegie, and Rockefeller ushered in a new era of unbridled capitalism. After all The united states achieved unattainable wealth, but not without spending a dime to its traditional democratic values.
