Jacob Henry Schiff (1847-1920), a German-born American Jewish
banker, facilitated critical loans for Japan in the early twentieth
century. Working on behalf of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,
Schiff's assertiveness in favour of Japan separated him from his
fellow German Jewish financiers and the banking establishment
generally. This book's analysis differs from the consensus that
Schiff funded Japan largely out of enmity towards Russia but rather
sought to work with Japan for over thirty years. This was as much a
factor in his actions surrounding the Russo-Japanese War
(1904-1905) as his concern to thwart Russian antisemitism. Of
interest to financial historians alongside Japanese historians and
academics of both genres, this book provides a lively and
thoroughly researched volume that precisely focuses on Schiff's
mastery of banking.
