A fascinating， well researched and well written book with a large cast of characters at time difficult to keep straight。 In addition to the history of the financiers， there is history of the financial development of America and the role these men played in it。 Social， economic， ethical issues are discussed as these pioneers were at the helm of so much。 I must confess to skimming the last part of the book because it was not as gripping as the first half。

Schulman captures the emotion of so many moments he documents。 A great read。 If the topic is of any interest， you will likely find this book hard to put down。 And not the empty calories of fiction！

I usually love any book regarding history， but this was so dry I nearly choked on it。 Don't get me wrong its very well written and researched， almost too researched。 I liked it well enough in the beginning。 Lots of interesting stuff about these Jewish Immigrants and their families。 I learned so much information that I did not know about the Civil War， Ulysses。 S。 Grant， the events surrounding the assassination of Czar Alexander II， and how these events and so many more affected the status of Jew I usually love any book regarding history， but this was so dry I nearly choked on it。 Don't get me wrong its very well written and researched， almost too researched。 I liked it well enough in the beginning。 Lots of interesting stuff about these Jewish Immigrants and their families。 I learned so much information that I did not know about the Civil War， Ulysses。 S。 Grant， the events surrounding the assassination of Czar Alexander II， and how these events and so many more affected the status of Jewish people。 That being said it was a very long and at times a very boring book and I had to DNF it。 Thank you to Goodeads for the Uncorrected Bound Proof of the book。 This edition of the book did not have any of the pictures which will appear in the final edition。 I would have liked to have seen them。 。。。more
