I am interesting in learning about this powerful family and how they influenced major world events and government policy. Anyone can recommend a good book or youtube documentary?

Weird. I was just about to make this thread. Is there any historical evidence for the Creation Myth of the Rothschild House, when Mayer Rothschild gamed the Battle of Waterloo by selling off his assets at the BoE all depressed-like and inspired a mass selloff?

The House of Rothschild by NIall Ferguson

Also Count Egon Caesar Corsi's books. I found Corsi's books to be more readable than Ferguson's.
