Les Standiford's 2005 book about the partnership and conflict between Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick — tracing their business partnership, the Homestead Strike, their falling out, and Carnegie's deathbed wish to reconcile (Frick's response: 'Tell Mr. Carnegie I'll meet him in hell').
Documents the most consequential business partnership in American industrial history — Carnegie needed Frick's coke, Frick needed Carnegie's capital — and the way the Homestead Strike destroyed their relationship while simultaneously making Carnegie Steel the most profitable company in America.
