ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller, Sr. by Ron Chernow delves into the extraordinary life of one of the most famous and controversial figures in American business history. The biography meticulously traces Rockefeller's journey from his early beginnings through his relentless ascent in the burgeoning petroleum industry. It explores the intricate and often contentious strategies he employed to achieve dominance, navigating a turbulent era of economic transformation. The narrative grapples with the complex duality of Rockefeller's character, a man described as an "implausible blend of sin and sanctity". Themes of ambition, the pursuit of wealth, the rise of corporate power, and the intricate relationship between personal piety and ruthless business practices are central to this compelling portrait.
