The House of Rothschild: Volume 2: The World's Banker: 1849-1999 (平装) 0140286624

Niall Ferguson's House of Rothschild: Money's Prophets 1798-1848 was hailed as "definitive" by the New York Times, a "great biography" by Time magazine, and was named one of the Ten Best Books of 1998 by Business Week. Now, Ferguson concludes his myth--breaking portrait of one of the most powerful families of modern times at the zenith of its power. From Crimea to World War II, wars repeatedly threatened the stability of the Rothschild's worldwide empire. Despite these upheavals, theirs remained the biggest bank in the world up until the First World War. Yet the Rothschild's failure to establish themselves successfully in the United States proved fateful, and as financial power shifted from London to New York after 1914, their power waned. At once a classic family saga and major work of economic, social and political history, The House of Rothschild is the riveting story of an unparalleled dynasty. A triumph of historical research and imagination.-- Robert Skidelsky, The New York Review of Books Brilliant... enthralling... proves that academic historians can still tell great stories that the rest of us want to read.-- The New York Times Book ReviewNiall Ferguson was born in Glasgow in 1964 and educated at the Glasgow Academy Magdalen College, Oxford, where he is now Fellow and Tudor in Modern History at Jesus College. In addition to The House of Rothschild: Money's Prophets 1798-1848, he is the author of The Pity of War. He is a well-known journalist, and often writes for the Sunday Times, the Guardian, and the New Republic, among other publications.
