false 16131 12 Now considered a classic, <i>The House of Morgan</i> is the most ambitious history ever written about an American banking dynasty. Acclaimed by The Wall Street Journal as "brilliantly researched and written," the book tells the rich, panoramic story of four generations of Morgans and the powerful, secretive firms they spawned. It is the definitive account of the rise of the modern financial world. A gripping history of banking and the booms and busts that shaped the world on both sides of the Atlantic, <i>The House of Morgan</i> traces the trajectory of the J. P. Morgan empire from its obscure beginnings in Victorian London to the crash of 1987. Ron Chernow paints a fascinating portrait of the private saga of the Morgans and the rarefied world of the American and British elite in which they moved. Based on extensive interviews and access to the family and business archives, <i>The House of Morgan</i> is an investigative masterpiece, a compelling account of a remarkable institution and the men who ran it, and an essential book for understanding the money and power behind the major historical events of the last 150 years. 1769681 20 9 2001 The House of Morgan: An American Banking Dynasty and the Rise of Modern Finance total:164|5:49|4:74|3:35|2:5|1:1| 164 657 359 23 5 1 false false Thu May 03 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Feb 21 17:45:39 -0800 2008 Sun Mar 02 18:18:00 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Aug 29 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 20:46:40 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 29 09:10:11 -0700 2009 So this 1990 ...more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 21 13:55:45 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 21 14:09:47 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 0 false false Wed Feb 25 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue May 27 12:11:31 -0700 2008 Fri Feb 27 16:13:23 -0800 2009
