Description
Stephen Dando-Collins' Tycoon's War is a gripping account of an epic imperialist duel between two men with vastly different ambitions. In 1861, Cornelius Vanderbilt, one of America's wealthiest industrialists, clashed with Colonel William C. O'Nell, a military adventurer who had become disillusioned with the American Civil War effort.
This true story is packed with intrigue and battle scenes that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Vanderbilt's ruthless pursuit of power and wealth led him to invade a country in an attempt to overthrow O'Nell, resulting in thousands of deaths. Dando-Collins masterfully weaves together greed, ambition, and ego clashes to create a narrative that is both thrilling and thought-provoking.
With meticulous research and attention to detail, Tycoon's War sheds new light on this pivotal moment in American history. This book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the complexities of power, politics, and war.
