Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Jacob Henry Schiff's unique role as a German-born American Jewish banker is explored through his significant financial support for Japan in the early 1900s. Unlike his contemporaries, Schiff's motivations extended beyond opposing Russia; he aimed to establish a long-term partnership with Japan, influenced by his experiences with Russian antisemitism. This book offers a detailed analysis of Schiff's banking expertise and his strategic decisions during the Russo-Japanese War, making it valuable for financial historians and those interested in Japanese history.
