Reviews
"Splendid.... Chernow does a wonderful job fleshing out the lives of the major characters in this family drama." -- Wall Street Journal "[Ron Chernow] has surpassed himself in this absorbing chronicle." -- The New Yorker "This is grand-scale scholarship .... It is all here, along with so much of the painful, tumultuous history of our time, all in one splendid book." -- David McCullough, author of Truman From the Trade Paperback edition.

Synopsis
Bankers, philanthropists, scholars, socialites, artists, and politicians, the Warburgs stood at the pinnacle of German (and, later, of German-American) Jewry. They forged economic dynasties, built mansions and estates, assembled libraries, endowed charities, and advised a German kaiser and two American presidents. But their very success made the Warburgs lightning rods for anti-Semitism, and their sense of patriotism became increasingly dangerous in a Germany that had declared Jews the enemy. Ron Chernow's hugely fascinating history is a group portrait of a clan whose members were renowned for their brilliance, culture, and personal energy yet tragically vulnerable to the dark and irrational currents of the twentieth century. From the Trade Paperback edition.

    Excellent communication with top tier customer service. I was given an option of hardback or softback books to purchase and told exactly how long each one would take. Upon making my selection I was informed about what that particular type would entail, quality condition, and it was shipped almost right away. The package arrived in good shape, all of the books had all of their pages, exactly as promised. I am very thankful for a wonderful customer experience with this seller. 10/10.
