Critical Acclaim for
Ron Chernow’s The House of Morgan
,
WINNER OF THE 1990 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR NON-FICTION:
“The House of Morgan
offers a long look at how the contemporary financial landscape came into being. . . . A panoramic and well-researched look at the most powerful family of banks in America over the last century . . . Chernow has a supple, refined style.”
—The Washington Post Book World
“Chernow presents fresh portraits of the Morgans and the brilliant senior partners who made the bank an international powerhouse. . . . He dishes up enough scandal, tragedy, and intrigue for a TV miniseries.”
—USA Today
“A brilliant, generation-spanning history of the Morgan banking empire, which offers a wealth of social and political as well as economic perspectives. . . . He writes in a lively, definite fashion that could make the exhaustively documented account the standard reference for specialists as well as lay readers.”

—Publishers Weekly
“Brilliantly researched and written, The House of Morgan
is to . . . Liar’s Poker

—The Wall Street Journal
“Long, ambitions, but highly readable . . . Chernow highlights the degree to which the Morgan bank symbolized an era of Anglo-American hegemony and the growing shift of financial power from London to New York. . . . The book is as much about the characters of Morgan as about its history.”
—The Economist
“Chernow vividly portrays the influence that the Morgan banks have had on the history of the Western economy since the late-eighteenth century. . . . Epic . . . An important book.”
—Library Jounral
(starred review)
“Ron Chernow’s The House of Morgan is utterly absorbing. The study of J. P.
Morgan & Co. and its offshoots is not merely the chronicle of an institution, but indeed of American finance and society. Chernow has done his research thoroughly, and written it up ............
