About This Item
New York: Random House, 1993. xvii, 820 pages, [32] pages of plates, illustrations, portraits; 24 cm. Near fine. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Tips mildly bumped. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. OVERSIZE! No priority/international, except by arrangement. "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." - Publisher.. Hardcover. Very Good/Fine. 8vo.
