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.","brand":"Ron Chernow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48692619444515,"sku":"9780525431831","price":17.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0885\/5437\/3411\/files\/9780525431831_p0_v2_s600x595.jpg?v=1718547653","url":"https:\/\/glenthebookhouse.com\/products\/the-warburgs-ron-chernow","provider":"BOOKDP4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
