Big Steel by Kenneth Warren

Big Steel is the first comprehensive history of the company at the center of America's twentieth-century industrial life-the United States Steel Corporation. Granted unprecedented access to the U.S. Steel archives, Warren tells the compelling history of this business.
Professor Warren brings forward a clear, well-argued and eminently fascinating account of the creation, growth, decline, and rebirth of US Steel, and does it in a way that I think will appeal not only to the academic experts, but will have a broad crossover appeal to general readers, and certainly to the large ‘business book’ market"" - John N. Ingham, University of Toronto
