The life of John D. Rockefeller is written by Ron Chernow in 1998. Chernow is a famous writer who is familiar with the character of capitalism in early 20th-century. He has written several books on economic history such as "The House of Morgan" and "The Warburgs" etc, including the recent Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller. This book is not fiction at all, so it doesn't have dialogue, just lots of dense paragraphs and few …showed first 75 words of 717 total…

Rockefeller's life ended in 1937 and gave most of his money to the charities and his son and other heirs. Overall, this book shows that Rockefeller was a truly great leader and a remarkable human being. I would recommend this book because it tells how people lived through the times of the Civil War. Even though it's not the greatest book, but it leaves great impression.
