Meet You in Hell: Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick, and the Bitter Partnership That Changed America

Two founding fathers of American industry. One desire to dominate business at any price.

â€œMasterful . . . Standiford has a way of making the 1890s resonateÂ with a twenty-first-century audience.â€â€”USA Today

â€œThe narrative is as absorbing as that of any good novelâ€”andÂ as difficult to put down.â€â€”Miami Herald

The author of Last Train to Paradise tells the riveting story of Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick, and the bloody steelworkersâ€™ strike that transformed their fabled partnership into a furious rivalry. Set against the backdrop of the Gilded Age, Meet You in Hell captures the majesty and danger of steel manufacturing, the rough-and-tumble of the business world, and the fraught relationship between â€œthe worldâ€™s richest manâ€ and the ruthless coke magnate to whom he entrusted his companies. The result is an extraordinary work of popular history.
