This book is out of my usually genre and although it was interesting to learn about a historical event it won't be a book I read again thus the 3 stars. I'm glad I read the book as a ton of my relatives live around the area, and it does give me a different perspective of some of the well known persons of the time such as Carnegie. It's funny that back in 1889 we in the US were having some of the same discussions about “the rich” and “the working class” as well as immigration. Back then it was the Hungarians though. I recommend this book as a a great educational one.
