"Prodigiously researched but also splendidly written-clear and vivid and precise." --The Wall Street Journal


Drawing on more than ten thousand hitherto unavailable letters and diary entries, bestselling author Niall Ferguson tells the story of Siegmund Warburg, a complex man who was as much a psychologist, a politician, and an actor-manager as a banker.
