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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRon 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":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":45895080083668,"sku":"9780525431831","price":37.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_6ec5d039-7937-4077-b65d-e7b54a336291.jpg?v=1732445279","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9780525431831","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
