About this title: This second volume of Niall Ferguson's acclaimed, landmark history of the legendary Rothschild banking dynasty concludes his myth-breaking portrait of one of the most powerful and fascinating families of modern times. With all the depth, clarity and drama with which he traced the Rothschild's ascent, Ferguson shows how their power waned as conflicts from Crimea to the Second World War repeatedly threatened the stability of their worldwide empire, and how their failure to establish themselves successfully in the United States would prove fateful.

Description: The second volume of the history of the Rothschild banking dynasty is "a triumph of historical research and imagination". --Robert Skidelsky, "The New York Review of Books". A "New York Times" Notable Book. 8-page color insert. read more
"This book is NOT a light read. It appears to be written by an Oxford don for other Oxford dons.
Very well researched. Must read if you are writing a masters thesis on the Rothschilds. Not recommended for a light read, endless dreary quotes. A strong background in European history is desirable, Ferguson does not tolerate ordinary readers.
You will need a basic course in French and to a lesser degree German -- Ferguson seems out to impress British dons with his arcane writing. And I am sure he succeeds."
