Our take
AI-draftedTroy, a former White House aide turned presidential historian, structures his book as a sequence of face-offs between individual presidents and individual tycoons, from Theodore Roosevelt versus Rockefeller down to more recent friction with Musk and Zuckerberg. Critics who enjoyed it did so for the anecdotes rather than any grand thesis: the subtitle promises epic clashes, but what's delivered is closer to a highly readable string of set pieces about ego, leverage, and access.
