| Abstract |
Peter Domanig, a 17-year-old Austrian immigrant after World War I, leaves his foster father and the comforts of 1920s suburban New York to earn a power position in Pittsburgh’s steel industry. Time writes, “From [Pittsburgh] on, his progress reads like a guided tour of the steel industry from the slag up, conducted by a man who knows his subject and loves to talk shop.”
