Delightful Family History

The remarkable Rothschild family continues into its third and fourth generations in this wonderful memoir, centering on Lionel Rothschild, heir to the London branch of the family, and his wife Charlotte. They must have been remarkable individuals, gifted with a strange, almost eerie magnetism, energy, charm and determination. Despite many difficulties they continued the meteoric rise of their predecessors in finance, and in politics as well. The book is based on exhaustive research, letters, news articles of the time, and other material to sketch out the remarkable achievements and personal sufferings of this incredible family. Some of it can be tedious--lengthy accounts of dinner parties, weddings, parliamentary debates and the like. Much of it is charming and touching. The book touches on other branches of the family along with the turbulent events in Europe (and America) during the nineteenth century. If you're interested in learning more about this incredible family, this might be a good place to start. I recommend it highly. Reviewed by Louis N. Gruber.
