 In a grand-scale narrative history, the bestselling author of two finalists for the Pulitzer Prize now captures the
decades when capitalism was at its most unbridled and a few breathtakingly wealthy businessmen utterly transformed
America from an agrarian economy to a world power. The years between the Civil War and the end of the nineteenth century
saw the wholesale transformation of America from a land of small farmers and small businessmen into an industrial giant.
Driven by unfathomably wealthy and powerful businessmen like J. P. Morgan, Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller,
armies of workers, both male and female, were harnessed to a new vision of massive industry. A society rooted in the
soil became one based in cities, and legions of immigrants were drawn to American shores. What’s more, in
accomplishing its revolution, capitalism threatened to eclipse American democracy. “What do I care about the
law?” bellowed Cornelius Vanderbilt. “Hain’t I got the power?” He did, and with it he and the
other capitalists reshaped every aspect of American life. In American Colossus, H.W. Brands portrays the emergence, in a
remarkably short time, of a recognizably modern America. The capitalist revolution left not a single area or aspect of
American life untouched. It roared across the South, wrenching that region from its feudal past and integrating the
southern economy into the national one. It burst over the West, dictating the destruction of Native American economies
and peoples, driving the exploitation of natural resources, and making the frontier of settlement a business frontier as
well. It crashed across the urban landscape of the East and North, turning cities into engines of wealth and poverty,
opulence and squalor. It swamped the politics of an earlier era, capturing one major party and half of the other,
inspiring the creation of a third party and determining the issues over which all three waged some of the bitterest
battles in American history. Brands’s spellbinding narrative beautifully depicts the oil gushers of western
Pennsylvania, the rise, in Chicago, of the first skyscraper, the exploration of the Colorado River, the cattle drives of
the West, and the early passionate sparks of union life. By 1900 the America he portrays is wealthier than ever, yet
prosperity is precarious, inequality rampant, and democracy stretched thin. American Colossus is an unforgettable
portrait of the years when the contest between capitalism and democracy was at its sharpest, and capitalism triumphed.
