Edward Lamont offers fresh insight into the turbulent period between the two world wars through this fascinating account of the life of the most influential banker of his era.
This affectionate and well-researched volume tells of one of the most influential, ven powerful financial figures of his time and certainly one of the most diverse intelligent. We are greatly in debt to Edward Lamont for this literate and thoroughly interesting biography.
