The House of Rothschild: The World's Banker 1849-1998

Worthy extension of Vol 1
You need to read this to complete the story of the Rothschilds. Ferguson has done a spectacular job. Absorbing.

Rise and Fall of the House of Rothschild
Excellent, well-written, detailed, objective history of financial business in 19th and early 20th Centuries. Centred on a famous banking family. Superb rating.

Niall em grande forma.
Que grande livro. E que admiração pelo trabalho de pesquisa impressionante e exaustiva feito por Fergusson. Parte de um time de pensadores e historiadores conservadores de elite, Fergusson traz a sua muito fundamentada exposição di surgimento do clã Rotschild e como eles mudaram o mundo, a economia,a cultura e até como alimentaram o antissemitismo. Como influenciaram e desfechos de batalhas e de governos. Pegue os dois volumes, aperte os cintos e decole nessa aventura super erudita. Pode pular os economeses de Niall, que exagera, algumas vezes, não vai fazer falta. Você terminará com outra visao do poder e da história no final da viagem. E com várias histórias divertidas e terriveis para contar para quem estiver a fim de ouvir algo que não seja a sua caixa de ressonancia

This is volume two of a two part history. You will need to start with volume 1 (1798-1848)
I read volume 1 a year ago. This second part deals with Rothschild family history from 1849 to 1998.Niall Ferguson is a great writer, the research effort for these two excellent books must have been immense.From a modest start in the Frankfurt Judengasse of the 1780’s the Rothschilds went on to become the wealthiest and most powerful of the World’s banking families. They advised national governments and royalty. Through hard work, deserved trust and some luck they went on to determine the world gold price each morning and advised Heads of States about the costs and realism of war aims and investments.Highly recommended.
