'A fascinating historical journey from Charles Dickens' London to Tom Wolfe's New York... Chernow deftly mixes biography with economics and explicates arcane matters of high finance with sparkling clarity.' David M. Kennedy, Atlantic MonthlyThis epic book traces the rise of the J. P. Morgan empire from its obscure beginnings in Victorian London to the crash of 1987.This rich and panoramic narrative spans four generations of Morgans and the powerful and secretive companies they spawned - J. P. Morgan & Co., Morgan Stanley and Morgan Grenfell.The House of Morgan is a compelling and incisive account of the development of the modern financial world, encompassing every boom and panic in its 150 year history.'Chernow presents fresh portraits of the Morgans and the brilliant senior partners who make the bank an international powerhouse.And he dishes up enough scandal, tragedy, and intrigue for a TV mini-series.'
