One of my all time favourite books is Titan: The life of John D. Rockefeller by Ron Chernow.

While it gives an excellent account of Rockefeller’s life, the most enjoyable for me is the incredible setting of the Industrial Revolution in America.

As a non American it was also fascinating to read about the mixture of religion and capitalism.

I highly recommend it.
