Born in London, England, he was the third and youngest of the three sons of Leopold de Rothschild (1845-1917) and Marie Perugia (1862-1937). A scion of the prominent Rothschild banking family of England, he was educated at Harrow School and the University of Cambridge where he secured a Double First in history. After the end of the First World War, Anthony became one of the managing partners of the family's N M Rothschild & Sons banking house in London. He retired as head of the N M Rothschild & Sons banking house in 1961. Written by renowned historian David Kynaston, Anthony de Rothschild: Banker and Philanthropist tells the story of the man who influenced modern history. De Rothschild was at the helm of international banking, steering the system from the chaos after the First World War into the modern world. The book includes rare and unseen documents and photographs from the family archive.
