This is an older book, published in 1961, this copy printed in 1963 and is a smaller paperback. This copy does show its wear too but still in good readable condition. I had heard of the Rothschild family and their money growing up but really didn't know much about them. This book certainly provided a lot of insight into them--at least into the 1950s. Doing a quick wikipedia reading looks like they are still doing very well. I really interesting read about how this family rose from a Frankfurt Jewish ghetto to being a dominant financial family in Europe for now centuries.
I will keep this book for now--too old and sort of beaten up to try to put on PBS. Still good info if ever want to refer back to it.
