High Financier

Beautifully paced, dramatically subtle and psychologically shrewd, this is Ferguson at his finest – Peter Stormonth Darling * Spectator *Ferguson is a talented writer, capable of grace and insight, but it is his ability as a historian that shows most strongly in High Financier – T. J. Stiles * The Washington Post Sunday *Its many finance lessons aside, High Financier is a pleasure to read simply as a work of literary skill. It is not only prodigiously researched but also splendidly written-clear and vivid and precise, perhaps even of enough merit to satisfy a word-stickler like Siegmund Warburg * Wall Street Journal *A timely, original and engaging biography of Siegmund Warburg – Sathnam Sanghera * The Times *This book is both a notable contribution to economic history and a fascinating portrait – Geoffrey Owen * Telegraph *
