کتاب Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller, Sr
National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist
From the acclaimed, award-winning author of Alexander Hamilton: here is the essential, endlessly engrossing biography of John D. Rockefeller, Sr.—the Jekyll-and-Hyde of American capitalism. In the course of his nearly 98 years, Rockefeller was known as both a rapacious robber baron, whose Standard Oil Company rode roughshod over an industry, and a philanthropist who donated money lavishly to universities and medical centers. He was the terror of his competitors, the bogeyman of reformers, the delight of caricaturists—and an utter enigma.

چرنو با تکیه بر دسترسی بیسابقه به مقالات خصوصی راکفلر، ریشههای آشفته سوژههایش را بازسازی میکند (پدرش کلاهبردار و یک بیگام بود) و دنبال ثروتمند بودن. اما او همچنین از دینداری عمیقی که او را واداشت تا «همه آنچه را که می توانستم ببخشد» آشکار می کند. ارادت او به پدرش؛ و حس شوخ طبعی که او را به رنگارنگ ترین کدنویس کشور تبدیل کرد. تایتان یک بیوگرافی باشکوه است - متعادل، وحیانی، با ظرافت نوشته شده است.
