True, you have to piece it together from disparate sources. Mainstream Rothschild historiography like Ferguson is most interesting for what it omits
From managing the Prince of Hesse's wealth, to bankrolling both Wellington and Napoleon, using the Banque de France's gold to buy out the Bank of England in 1825, to creating CreditAnstalt in Austria-Hungary, to funding Cavour and Italian unification from the Naples branch, financing the Meiji Restoration via Matheson, to bankrolling Bismarck via their agent Bleichroeder and fomenting the Franco-Prussian war with their press agencies, to capturing the US via Belmont and the dollar syndicate - the Rothschilds were the primary dealers of every single major power except Russia by the end of the 19th century
There is no greater power in this world than the funding of sovereigns. Whoever manages to monopolize it to such a degree can definitely be said to run the world, including engineering and funding both sides of every single war and revolution
