A myth-busting account of how two battling American giants teamed up to save the nation's economy As the twentieth century opened, Theodore Roosevelt and J. Pierpont Morgan were the two most powerful men in America, perhaps the world. The transformations they wrought in the processes of government and business were essential to creating our modern age. Yet no book has focused exclusively on the relationship between these two pivotal figures, and when they have been considered together, the result has generally been to reduce them to battling colossi, the great trust builder versus the original trustbuster. The truth is that their long association was far more complex, and that-despite risks for both men-it saved U.S. business.
