Book:

Inside Bethlehem Steel: The Final Quarter Century, published 2008, 12" x 9", 140 pages, 92 color and b&w photographs, composite leather cover with photography by Peter Treiber and text by Elizabeth Kovach. Inside Bethlehem Steel: The Final Quarter Century is a visual tour of the formerly second-largest domestic steel company's last years as it struggled for survival. This book celebrates the majesty and might of the late steelmaker and chronicles the long decline of the company that literally built, transported and defended America for nearly 99 years.

Book reviews:

Ed Riccio: "The most stunning visual history I've ever seen. Peter Treiber captures the beauty and power of the steelmaking process and portrays it as fine art. Art that describes one of man's most ennobling efforts, the creation of basic materials for the betterment of human life."

Ed Riccio – President BethForge 1989-1995

John Strohmeyer: "…enlightening read for everyone concerned about the fate of big industry in America and a must addition to every library. Bette Kovach's insightful perspective and the spectacular photographs of Peter Treiber constitute a work that will not be forgotten."

John Strohmeyer, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of Crisis in Bethlehem: Big Steel's Battle to Survive, was editor of The Bethlehem Globe-Times for 28 years.

Nancy Gravatt: "…Treiber…and Kovach have teamed up to create a visually stunning portrait… depicting the final decades of an iconic company that literally built our nation."

Nancy Gravatt, Vice President, Communications, American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI)
