โฆ Synopsis
Andrew Carnegie led an extraordinary life. He was the very embodiment of the American dream - a Scottish immigrant who fled the grinding poverty of his native land to start anew in America. He became the wealthiest man in the world, then, at the end of his life, gave it all away. He thought of himself as labor's greatest champion; in time, labor thought of him as their most detested enemy. This short-form book shares his extraordinary story.
