More About Millionaire: The Philanderer, Gambler, and Duelist Who Invented Modern Finance
This book was much more enjoyable than I thought it would be. It covered some very complex topics (finance, politics, etc) with interesting prose, and with the feel of an actual story. It managed to stay away from being dry or boring, and yet is very well researched, true to the facts, and does a good job of staying away from supposition... This is completely the type of biography I wouldn't normally pick up. I bought it on a whim from Amazon, and was REALLY glad I did. Not only is Jon Law incredibly interesting in himself, but the people surrounding him were just as fascinating. The author does a superb job of telling the story without flourish, but keeping it constantly... Just wasn't doing it for me--stopped reading.
