The narrative chronicles the rise of the Sassoon family, known as 'the Rothschilds of the East,' from their Mesopotamian origins to becoming a dominant force in global trade. After fleeing Baghdad's tyranny, David Sassoon and his children rebuilt their fortunes through cotton and opium trade, expanding their influence across India, Europe, and beyond. The family established textile mills, banking, and shipping ventures, ultimately merging with the Rothschild banking empire. This generational saga unfolds against the backdrop of the Ottoman Empire and the evolving Far East, highlighting their significant impact on commerce and society.
