[PU: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, New York], THE WORLD'S BANKER: HISTORY OF HOUSE ROTHSCHILD SIGNED FIRST EDITION, Jacket, First edition of the Ferguson's monumental history of the Rothschilds. Octavo, 2 volumes, original cloth. Inscribed by Niall Ferguson on the title page in each volume. Each are fine in a fine dust jackets. Jacket design by Gail Belenson. Ever since the Rothschild's spectacular rise to preeminence in European finance during the last, turbulent years of the Napoleonicwars, a mythology has grown up around the family and it's firms. It is no exaggeration to say that the Rothschilds became 1 of theliving legends of the 19th century: the personfication of a new era in which money determined status and power, an era in which 5 Jewish brothers born into the wretchedness of the Frnakfurt Ghetto could rise by their own ingenuity to become ' the worlds bankers' - dominating the international financial markets, rubbing shoulders with the social elite, patronising the great artists and architects of the era and above all exerting a decisive, if veiled, influence over the world's monarchs and statesmen. Using a wealth of archival sources as well as a vast amount of little known contemporary and more recent secondary literature, Niall Ferguson's definitive study will finally hold the mirror of reality up to the face of myth.<
