WOMEN OF ROTHSCHILD (PB)

The story of the family who rose from the Frankfurt ghetto to become synonymous with wealth and power has been much mythologized. Yet half the Rothschilds, the women, remain virtually unknown. In this book, author Natalie Livingstone follows the extraordinary lives of the English branch of the Rothschild women; from the East End of London to the Eastern seaboard of the United States, from Spitalfields to Scottish castles, from Bletchley Park to Buchenwald, and from the Vatican to Palestine.
