　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.

　 "Splendid.... Chernow does a wonderful job fleshing out

the lives of the major characters in this family drama."

　　All three of Ron Chernow's books are lengthy and solidly

researched, but his background as a journalist shows in his ability

here to convey complex material in terms of vivid characters and a

well-defined theme. As in his National Book Award-winning business

history (The

House of Morgan) and his comprehensive

biography of John D. Rockefeller (Titan), in The

Warburgs Chernow employs marvelously detailed material to trace

a single overarching story: the riveting and ultimately tragic

odyssey of German Jews. The Warburgs were Hamburg's preeminent

banking family from the 18th century until Hitler's Third Reich

forced them to hand over their business to Aryans in 1938. But they

also boasted among their family members a celebrated art historian

(Aby Warburg), a Nobel Prize-winning scientist (Otto Warburg), and

the financial angel of the New York City Ballet (Edward Warburg).

Two of the "Famous Five" brothers married American women at the

turn of the 20th century and became honored members of the Wall

Street establishment, so Chernow's lively narrative imparts

important U.S. social and economic history as well. But don't let

all those fancy credentials intimidate you: The Warburgs

features enough flamboyant personalities and high-class gossip to

make this as entertaining a read as the latest issue of

People magazine. --Wendy Smith

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. "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
