“Mr. Schwab is a genius. I have never met his equal.” So stated renowned
industrialist Andrew Carnegie about Charles M. Schwab, successively the
president of Carnegie Steel, U.S. Steel, and Bethlehem Steel. Though an
inveterate gambler and womanizer, Schwab held a smile and charisma that
got him in and out of multiple adventures. This book presents the
complex legacy of the man Thomas Edison once called the “master
hustler,” from his start as a stake-driver in the engineering corps to
his ascendancy to American steel magnate.
