Herman and George R. Brown, formidable figures in the construction
industry and Texas politics, made a unique business team. Practical
and decisive Herman and university-trained, soft-spoken George, a
natural salesperson, combined their individual strengths, strong
work ethic, and ambition to develop Brown & Root, one of
America's preeminent construction companies. Builders serves both
as a history of their lives and as an examination of business life
in mid-twentieth-century America. In addition to examining the
brothers' business accomplishments, the authors address the Browns'
philanthropic work, political influence, antiunionism, and longtime
relationship with Lyndon Baines Johnson.
