Tracing the trajectory of J.P. Morgan's empire from its obscure beginnings in Victorian London to the financial crisis of 1987, Chernow paints a portrait of the family's private saga and the rarefied world of the American and British elite in which they moved, including Charles Lindbergh, Henry Ford, Franklin Roosevelt, Nancy Astor, and Winston Churchill. An account of a remarkable institution and the men who ran it, this book provides a look at the real power -- the money -- behind the historical events, the eminent statesmen, and the industrial empires that have transformed the world in the last century and a half. --Publisher description.  2lccn0cBK  illh  c127051d127051  00102lcc40708APTaBJBbBJBcAPTd2026-05-11l0oC521h 2001p00000200082r2026-05-11 17:59:35t1w2026-05-11yBK
