Reviews
"Kenneth Warren turns his great expertise and ability in the iron and steel industry to Bethlehem Steel with superb results. He presents a comprehensive, analytic narrative of this great firm from its beginnings to its inauspicious end. This business biography is an admirable companion to his earlier fine works on U.S. Steel and Charles M. Schwab." -John N. Ingham, author ofMaking Iron and Steel, "[Warren's] research is impressive ... students of industrial history will find Bethlehem Steel a revealing and timely work, defining challenges that all sorts of companies face today, across the U.S. and around the world." --The Wall Street Journal, "Kenneth Warren'sBethlehem Steelis a solid contribution to the scholarship on an important chapter in the nation's industrial history. Warren skillfully chronicles the rise of a business giant, then traces the many and complex forces, both internal and external, that led to its demise. This is a valuable work in an era of globalization, when American cities like Bethlehem struggle with the transformation away from their industrial past. This book will be of interest to anyone who studies twentieth-century economic and business history." -Katherine Carteacute; Engel, Texas A&M University, "The corporate biography of this icon of US industrial history is worthy of examination by history and business students and scholars. Highly recommended." --Choice, "The definitive historial analysis of the late Bethlehem Steel Corporation." --The Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania, "The corporate biography of this icon of US industrial history is worthy of examination by history and business students and scholars. Highly recommended." --Choice

Synopsis
In the late 19th century, rails from Bethlehem Steel helped build the United States into the world's foremost economy. During the 1890s, Bethlehem became America's leading supplier of heavy armaments, and by 1914, it had pioneered new methods of structural steel manufacture that transformed urban skylines. Demand for its war materials during World War I provided the finance for Bethlehem to become the world's second-largest steel maker. As late as 1974, the company achieved record earnings of $342 million. But in the 1980s and 1990s, through wildly fluctuating times, losses outweighed gains, and Bethlehem struggled to downsize and reinvest in newer technologies. By 2001, in financial collapse, it reluctantly filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Two years later, International Steel Group acquired the company for $1.5 billion. In "Bethlehem Steel," Kenneth Warren presents an original and compelling history of a leading American company, examining the numerous factors contributing to the growth of this titan and those that eventually felled it along with many of its competitors in the U.S. steel industry. Warren considers the investment failures, indecision and slowness to abandon or restructure outdated integrated plants plaguing what had become an insular, inward-looking management group. Meanwhile competition increased from more economical mini mills at home and from new, technologically superior plants overseas, which drove world prices down, causing huge flows of imported steel into the United States. "Bethlehem Steel" provides a fascinating case study in the transformation of a major industry from one of American dominance to one where America struggled to survive.", In the late 19th century, rails from Bethlehem Steel helped build the United States into the world's foremost economy.
