Synopsis
Probably no other family in the last two centuries has been so constantly in the centre of Europe's great events as have the Rothschilds. Probably no other family has contained such varied and spectacular personalities. Surely no other family has had anything like their wealth, influence and prestige. In this book, Frederic Morton has written an intimate family portrait. Exercising the skill that Aldous Huxley called "a gift for admirably vivid and compete characterization," Mr Morton has re-created the men and women of six startling generations. The Rothschilds' story begins at the end of the 18th century with Mayer Amschel Rothschild, a Frankfurt money changer. From a cramped house in Frankfurt's Jew Street he built a financial empire that his five sons carried to five European capitals and finally to world-wide power.
