Steel Titan The Life of Charles M. Schwab

A man of great ambitions and achievements, Charles M.Schwab has been described as second only to Andrew Carnegie as a pioneer in the Amercian steel industry. Beginning at 17 as a day labourer in the Edgar Thompson works of Carnegie Steel, he was superintendent of Thompson at 24, superintendent of the Homesetead works - the largest mills in the world - at 27, a Carnegie partner at 30, president of Carnegie Steel at 35, the first president of the United States Steel Corporation at 39 and president of its major competitor, Bethlehem Steel, at 42. This biography traces his career, how he rose to the top and how he later undermined his position by taking shortcuts that plunged him into scandals and controversies.
