Description
The book masterfully depicts the rise of one of the most famous banking families and the fate of its Austrian branch. It describes deals, transactions, scandals, and dramas, reviving the story of incredible success as well as a steep downfall. Salomon Mayer Rothschild rose to become a top Austrian banker in the pre-revolutionary period of the mid-19th century, his son Anselm founded a bank, and his grandson Albert was considered the richest European. The Rothschilds became barons and lords, financing states, wars, factories, and railways; they were patrons and collectors. Their wealth became legendary and is reflected in the saying 'To be as rich as Rothschild.'
