\n From a Pulitzer Prize winner, \u201ca charming and absorbing account of one of American capitalism\u2019s eccentric visionaries\u201d (Los Angeles Times).<\/p>\n

The name Hershey evokes many things: chocolate bars, the company town in Pennsylvania, one of America\u2019s most recognizable brands. But who was the man behind the name? In this compelling biography, journalist Michael D\u2019Antonio gives us the real-life rags-to-riches story of Milton S. Hershey, a largely uneducated businessman whose idealistic sense of purpose created an immense financial empire, a town, and a legacy that lasts to this day.<\/p>\n

Hershey, the son of a minister\u2019s daughter and an irresponsible father who deserted the family, began his career inauspiciously when the two candy shops he opened both went bankrupt. Undeterred, he started the Lancaster Caramel Company, which brought him success at last. Eventually he sold his caramel operation and went on to perfect the production process of chocolate to create a stable, consistent bar with a long shelf life\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0. and an American icon was born.<\/p>\n

Hershey was more than a successful businessman\u2014he was a progressive thinker who believed in capitalism as a means to higher goals. He built the world\u2019s largest chocolate factory and a utopian village for his workers in rural Pennsylvania, and used his own fortune to keep his workers employed during the Great Depression. In addition, he secretly willed his fortune to a boys\u2019 school and orphanage, both of which now control a vast endowment.<\/p>\n

\u201cCaptivating\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0. unfolds much like a good novel.\u201d \u2014Pittsburgh Post-Gazette<\/p>\n

\u201cA valuable addition to the literature of American business and philanthropy.\u201d \u2014The Washington Post Book World <\/p>\n
