Titan is not just the story of how John D. Rockefeller created America's first and most powerful monopoly, the Standard Oil company, and, despite strict religious devotion and pioneering philanthropy, became the scourge of his countrymen during his lifetime. Through this portrait of one of its greatest industrial magnates, Ron Chernow's epic biography reveals much about America itself - its greed and power; its faith and fatuity; its past and future.
'Excellent.'
