About This Item
New York: W.W. Norton & Company, Inc., 1969. Book. Good. Paperback. Briefer Version. Sm 8vo. pp. xxv, 227. A condensed version of the two-volume 1904 first edition. "The Standard Oil Company was the first major industrial monopoly in the United States. But clouding this success was one important failure. John D. Rockefeller's great wealth and power did not protect him from defeat at the hands of the magazine journalist Ida Minerva tarbell. The forceful muckraker historian of the Standard Oil Company did more than single out Rockefeller as the architect and the driving force behind the trust. She offered the oil man as the symbol and the cause of all that she felt was wrong in the national life." - Introduction. Average wear. Binding intact. Moderate quantity of yellow high-lighting to contents. A sound copy of this fascinating history..
