About This Item
No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling; Still Gift Quality.. Often celebrated as the ideal capitalist or excoriated as the robber baron who most epitomized the excesses and iniquities of the Gilded Age, J. Pierpont Morgan has, in Strouse, finally been accorded a biographer whose talents match his enormous legacy.
