The first 350 pages of this book have been studied by Mark Reutter incredibly detailed and dogmatic. Cost figures, stupid, but useful facts about the weight and production standards have been included. Interviews with those who had rememebr the mill of the 1940s boom and the effect of wartime deep on the drive. Basic information on Sparrows Point and Charles Schwab was particularly unique and useful details were figures like Frederick Wood and Dr. Abel Wolman. These key components are the basis for a plant, which was very powerful but also very tragic for workers, families and the environment. careful documentation is in the reader a visual work of life for the first 50 years in Maryland. Truly a gem. . . . for the first 350 pages.
From the start of the period Reutter 1950 to accelerate the pace for all. The figures are vague on the details of a few years to find and in a variety of activities to gain speed, the more you read seems treaties. The last part of the book seems destined to be “Good to Great” or John Strohmeyer) with less depth and meaning, so none of the sources cited in their works (I read them all achieved by other works / authors (i. e ). Ken Iverson of Nucor Fame is like a God, such as Prodigy is processed, the business realities are removed and the author succumbs stories story of compassion of the Union of Workers and its fate in the hands of “irresponsible and reckless management. Wilbur Ross, but not a choir boy for someone who trteatment unfair to his behavior in this situation. So…. gross mismanagement OMMISSION / in the history of Bethlehem Steel with Donald Träutlein and early 1980s….. fully illustrated by the lack of copyright.
Overall, I would say it was a good amount of information, but as a student of the industrial revolution and Bethlehem Steel in all, I do not praise the vague generalizations have missions Reutter idea in the conclusion of the book. As a citizen of a place close Behtlehem of itself, I reject and condemn the representation of superiority Reutter Maryland Steel and management…… there is little, if it proves no historical evidence of that damage. Throughout the book like a giant Bethlehem searching Maryland and the reason for this success, which is only partially true is treated. This book deserves such a complex situation / circumstances, much more powerful at the end and that was more substance in the drive 350 + pages. Too much bias too few cases / historical objectivity and too fast and ends a stellar review.
