Más información sobre el libro

Rothschild - for generations the name has been synonymous with high culture, political power and unparalleled wealth. The Rothschilds dominated international finance for over a century. They bought the Suez Canal for Disraeli, financed the Battle of Waterloo and arranged the crushing indemnity of 5,000 million frs. demanded from France by Bismarck in 1871. With extensive interviews and much previously unpublished material, Derek Wilson shows how their interests were often as bizarre as they were diverse. An obsession with collecting found focus in old masters, cigars, rhododendrons, fleas and even carriage-drawing zebras.
