- 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 <i>High Financier</i>
- T. J. Stiles, The Washington Post Sunday
Its many finance lessons aside, <i>High Financier</i> 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
