This absorbing history studies and compares the changing policies of Bethlehem's Lackawanna Steel Plant. From Fire to Rust examines the corporation, its business history, ownership and corporate practices; the plant's physical setup and industrial technologies; and the actual work, with myriad job descriptions constantly disappearing and evolving as technological innovations occurred. This technical and detailed history provides a deeper understanding of the trends in the U.S. Steel industry that led to the 1983 shutdown.
