The Man Who Shot J. P. Morgan

“Combining elements of a biography with snappy journalistic reportage, The Man Who Shot J.P. Morgan is a brief, delightful true crime text.”–Foreword Reviews

“A heady combination of a murder case, fraud, the story of the family of a well-known tycoon, and the feelings of both Germans and Americans during World War I. The characters involved are compelling.”–Virginia A. McConnell, author of The Belle of Bedford Avenue: The Sensational Brooks-Burns Murder in Turn-of-the-Century New York

“Jack Morgan did not dominate the country’s financial markets as his father, J. P. Morgan, did a generation earlier. But in 1933, Jack became a central player in the Senate investigation that would reshape the relationship between Washington and Wall Street. Mary Noé’s compelling story of an earlier episode in Jack’s life, when he was spearheading Wall Street’s efforts to fund the Allies in World War I, provides a stark reminder that those bent on using terror and assassination to protest corporate policies are nothing new.”–Michael Perino, author of The Hellhound of Wall Street: How Ferdinand Pecora’s Investigation of the Great Crash Forever Changed American Finance
