Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller, Sr. Thoroughly researched, mostly even handed biography of history's first billionaire. No one makes such an impact on the world without harboring some seriously weird tendencies and complicated contradictions. You get a good look at a lot of that stuff in this book. If you've read all the great biographies of great men, and you haven't gotten to this one, by all means read it. But if you're gonna dive into a monster about a complicated man for the first time, read The Power Broker first. It's good, but it's not one of those drop-everything-and-read-it books. Recommended for readers looking for a book of its type, but not for general audiences.
