商品描述内容简介Niall Ferguson'sHouse of Rothschild: Money's Prophets 1798-1848was hailed as "definitive" by theNew York Times, a "great biography" byTimemagazine, and was named one of the Ten Best Books of 1998 byBusiness 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 Rothschildis the riveting story of an unparalleled dynasty.媒体推荐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 Review
