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.
