After reading over 100 of these studies of various famous (and infamous) historical figures, I have to say that this book offers the best balance of information. We learn about Rockefeller's beginnings, his personal life, his business life, what his belief-system was, how he changed America, touched on his children and their lives, his philanthropy, and then the end of Rockefeller's life. It's all there in less than 50 pages. When I finished reading this, I felt I really knew what made John D. Rockefeller tick. Thank you, Hourly History.
