From obscurity to extraordinary - the ruthless story behind America's business giants.

The United States of America wasn't discovered, it was built. Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, Carnegie, Astor, Ford and Morgan - these are the men who built it and their names became synonymous with the American dream.

At the height of the Industrial Age, these men constructed a bold vision for a modern nation and transformed the greatest industries of our time: oil, rail, steel, shipping, automobiles and finance. Rising from poverty, their paths crossed repeatedly as they elected Presidents, set economic policies and influenced every major event of their day - from the Civil War to The Great Depression. This is the story of a nation at a crossroads and of the people who catapulted it to prosperity.
