The Rothschilds' Secret

The Rothschild name leaves no one indifferent. It has fueled beliefs and legends for centuries. Rumors mostly revolve around a supposed secret power behind it and the wealth gained during wars. But what do we really know about the Rothschilds? Élie de Rothschild jr has delved into the family's history, and his book goes far beyond the myth. His basic intention was to satisfy people's natural curiosity. In addition to outlining the workings of anti-Semitism, he examines the most important financial matters and presents the key figures, the prominent members of the family, in more detail. He is not content with putting on paper what others have already reported over time, but also evaluates and analyzes what happened and its impact on European societies. He reveals the special features of the Rothschilds, the recipe for their success. As a result, we can better understand their interests, but also the interests of the leading strata and managers of European societies, as well as the issues that determine political decisions.
