This is the first serious biography of the exuberant man who transformed the Sears, Roebuck company into the country's most important retailer. He was also one of the early 20th century's notable philanthropists... The richness of primary evidence continually delights. --Judith Sealander, author of Private Wealth and Public Life [No] mere philanthropist [but a] subtle, stinging critic of our racial democracy. --W. E. B. DuBois on Julius Rosenwald
