In 1902, an investigative journalist published the first installment of an expose against an omnipresent corporation. Ida Minerva Tarbell (1857-1944), a progressive minded reporter with McClure's Magazine, had taken on John Davison Rockefeller (1839-1937), one of the world's wealthiest men. Though Rockefeller controlled a vast oil empire - including the means of production, railroad shipments, and government agencies - Tarbell's impeccable reporting and fierce prose tore apart the monopoly, spurring the nation into action against the trusts of the Gilded Age. Her landmark study, published first in McClure's Magazine and later expanded into an eight-hundred-page masterwork, The History of the Standard Oil Company, became one of the most consequential pieces of investigative journalism in U.S. history.

Steve Weinberg tells the story in Taking on the Trust, the first dual biography of Tarbell and Rockefeller. Using his background as an investigative journalist since 1969 and as a professor - he has taught at one of the nation's premier journalism schools since 1978 - Weinberg shows how Tarbell invented contemporary investigative reporting by pioneering the use of archival and human sources. With these new methods, Tarbell simultaneously honed a new craft within journalism and opened doors previously closed to women.
