The Secrets of the Rothschilds

Before you is the story of the fantastic success of the Rothschild dynasty, whose name has long become synonymous with luxury, extravagance, and impeccable manners. This book finally lifts the curtain on the life of a family that, like the... Rockefeller, Kennedy, or Windsor families, is still shrouded in rumors and conspiracy theories. The author of the book, Eli Rothschild Jr., a direct descendant of the first Rothschild, vividly and wittily describes the history of his family, showing that it achieved its greatness not through conspiratorial methods -- but through unwritten rules that all clan members steadfastly adhered to. How did the Rothschilds manage to build their empire in a world filled with hatred towards Jews? Is it true that one of the Rothschilds made 20 million francs from Napoleon's defeat? Why did the five sons of the dynasty's founder scatter to different parts of the world? And what secrets of accumulating, preserving, and multiplying money do the Rothschilds continue to pass down from generation to generation? The answers to these questions can be found in the captivating book by Eli Rothschild Jr.
