"For years I have been convinced that there is not an honest bone
in your body. Now I know that you are a god-damned thief," Henry
Clay Frick reportedly told Andrew Carnegie at their last meeting in
1900, just before J. P. Morgan bought the Carnegie Steel Company
and founded United States Steel.
Three years later, James Bridge, who had served as Carnegie's
personal secretary, published this book. In it he recounted the
events that led up to the final confrontation between two of
America's most powerful capitalists. The book created a sensation
when it appeared in 1903. Not only did it describe the raw emotions
of Carnegie and Frick, those most brilliant and uneasy of business
partners, it also told of the history and inner workings of the
industrial giant, Carnegie Steel.
Bridge was an open partisan of Frick, and the portrait of Carnegie
that emerges from this book is not flattering. But he was an
experienced journalist, and he uses sources carefully. His book
remains a striking insider's narrative of the American steel
industry in the last decades of the nineteenth century-as well as
the most revealing account of the emotions of some of its major
owners.
The introduction by John Ingram places the book in perspective for
both the historian and general reader.
