The Warburgs: The Twentieth-Century Odyssey of a Remarkable Jewish Family by Ron Chernow

informative slow-paced

4.0

 Ron Chernow is one of my favorite historians. I enjoy all of the books that I have read of his thus far. I got this book on Audible, and it was a LONG listen. This book goes into one the most well known families that seemed to have a hand in everything. There were plenty of family talents and interests besides banking. Several members of the family sat on boards across all businesses, and were involved in many charities. During World War II, they were involved in the war effort and in trying to help out German Jew friends and relations, even as their bank and assets were taken over by the Nazi regime. I really learned a lot about this family and all of the key players.
