In The Power Makers, one of America's most acclaimed historians of business and society offers an epic narrative of his greatest subject yet―the "power revolution" that transformed American life in the course of the nineteenth century.
With consummate skill, Klein recreates the discoveries, the stunning triumphs and frequent failures, and the unceasing battles in the marketplace. The Power Makers is a dazzling saga of inspired invention, dogged persistence, and business rivalry at its most naked and cutthroat―a tale of America in its most astonishing decades.
