First edition of Ron Chernow’s ambitious saga of the Warburg dynasty. Octavo, original half cloth, pictorial endpapers, illustrated. Presentation copy, lengthily inscribed by the author on the front blank in the year of publication, "A wonderful writer and one of our finest Latin American Commentators. Best of luck with your publishing endeavor. Best - Ron Chernow 10/20/93." Very good in a very good dust jacket. Jacket design by Andy Carpenter.
Ron Chernow's saga traces the fortunes of the influential German-Jewish banking family from its generation of great wealth, stimulated by the Franco-Prussian War, through the family's defamation and degradation by the Nazis, and its subsequent return to Hamburg following World War II. In the United States, family members married and joined forces with the Schiffs and Loebs at the beginning of the century. “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).
