This groundbreaking history explains how Nathan Mayer Rothschild
rose from comparatively humble circumstances to become the founder
of an extraordinary banking and financial empire—an empire that
remained preeminent in Europe for more than a century. The book
focuses on the critical years of Great Britain’s war against
Napoleon, when Rothschild became in effect Britain’s banker and
paymaster on the Continent, contributing to Wellington’s defeat
of Napoleon and consolidating the basis of the Rothschild financial
dynasty. Although the basic outline of Rothschild’s remarkable
rise in the world of European high finance is well known, the
details of how this actually took place, at the
transaction-by-transaction level, have never before been studied.
On the basis of painstaking archival examination of all of
Rothschild’s extant financial records, Kaplan is able to explain
for the first time exactly how this transformation occurred.
