A historical revelation that caused a sensation across Europe and America

A book of ideas that lays bare a century of corporate expansion

Understand the rise and fall of the Sassoon family, and you will grasp the highest principles of business

This book recounts the arduous journey of a Jewish refugee family called the Sassoons from the 19th to the 20th century. Through years of exile, they strove relentlessly, traveling across Asia and Europe and rising from nothing to build a vast commercial empire. Using the vivid touch of a novelist and meticulous historical sources, the author reveals the secrets kept by generations of the Sassoon family and explains their pivotal role in 150 years of world history: from the American Civil War to Britain's decline, from the Opium Wars to World War II, and from early commodity trading to emerging industries, the Sassoons were deeply involved, shaping the course of the world.

The book also draws readers into a fascinating world of politics, commerce, war, and human stories. It is a rare and remarkable work of history.
