This engaging biography tells the remarkable story of LG Kaufman, a self-made Jewish financier whose bold vision helped build modern American banking – and the Empire State Building – before the Great Depression brought it all crashing down. Ann Berman brings his world vividly to life in a warm, conversational style that captures both the human and financial drama of an extraordinary American life. Author will be virtual. Proud partner of the Jewish Book Council.
