Tycoon's War: How Cornelius Vanderbilt Invaded a Country to Overthrow America's Most Famous Military Adventurer

Written by a master storyteller, Tycoon's War is the remarkable account of an epic imperialist duel--a violent battle of the capitalist versus the idealist, money versus ambition, and a monumental clash of egos that resulted in the deaths of thousands of Americans. This incredible true story--impeccably researched and never before told in full--is packed with greed, intrigue, and some of the most hair-raising battle scenes ever written.
