"If I were to attempt to describe Andrew Carnegie in one comprehensive sentence I would say:
B. C. Forbes, Men Who Are Making America [This sentence was reordered and bulletized without changing the substance or meaning of the sentence.] Yes, it was a rather long, comprehensive sentence, wasn't it? Then again, from what I have read, Mr. Forbes hit the Andrew Carnegie personality-nails on their heads. Too many fail to convey the complexity of the man—even in whole books about him. They are failed attempts. This, though, is a nice piece of prose about a complex, yet great individual. Peter E. Greulich
