About the book
The first volume of Niall Ferguson's monumental biography of the Rothschild family, tracing their rise from a currency exchange house in Frankfurt to the creation of a global financial empire between the 18th and 19th centuries. Ferguson examines how Nathan Mayer Rothschild and his brothers revolutionized international finance, funded wars, and shaped the fate of nations.
With extensive archival research and an engaging narrative, Ferguson offers insights into the power of finance, post-Napoleonic European politics, and the mechanisms of influence and wealth. The book combines financial, diplomatic, and social history, making it essential for understanding the formation of modern capitalism and contemporary power structures.
