Warner Bros. Studio is best known as a media conglomerate with a broad range of intellectual property, spanning movies, TV shows, and streaming content. Despite popular interest in the origins of this empire, the core of the Warner Bros. saga cannot be found in its commercial successes. It is the story of four brothers—Harry, Albert, Sam, and Jack—whose vision for Hollywood helped shape the world of entertainment.

In The Warner Brothers, Chris Yogerst follows the siblings from their family's humble origins in Poland, through their young adulthood in the American Midwest, to the height of fame and fortune in Hollywood. With unwavering resolve, the brothers soldiered on against the backdrop of an America reeling from the aftereffects of domestic and global conflict. The Great Depression would not sink the brothers, who churned out competitive films that engaged audiences and kept their operations afloat. During World War II, they used their platform to push beyond the limits of the Production Code and create important films about real-world issues, openly criticizing radicalism and the evils of the Nazi regime. At every major cultural turning point in their lifetime, the Warners held a front-row seat. Paying close attention to the brothers' identities as cultural and economic outsiders, Yogerst chronicles how the Warners built a global filmmaking powerhouse.

    4.0 out of 5 stars One Bizarre Error
    Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2024
    In an otherwise meticulously researched and footnoted book, I was surprised to see this sentence: "The Germans invaded Russia, taking Stalingrad in the summer of 1942." The Germans never "took" Stalingrad. It was a devastating defeat for Germany, which fought for the city until January 1943. Where was the editor?

    This book is comprehensive almost to a fault depending on how intense your interest in the Warner Bros and Hollywood history is. It is very detailed and a good portrait of one of the founding families if the film industry. There are many footnotes and a comprehensive index.
