From the dustjacket: "This biography of a business is a tale of adventure - pioneering in new fields of science. It tells of the romance of an industry — a chemical industry - that has developed since the World War on a scale no one could have foreseen. The reader, in following the story of one business corporation, catches a glimpse of the manner in which any successful business starts and goes through stages of growth. Products of prime importance today become secondary tomorrow, as new ideas, new processes, and new demands bring constant changes..."
Photographer Margaret Bourke-White was a pioneering photojournalist whose insightful pictures of 1930s Russia, German industry, and the impact of the Depression and drought in the American midwest established her reputation. She took some of the first photographs inside German concentration camps at Erla and Buchenwald following the end of World War II and captured the last pictures of Mahatma Gandhi, in India.
