The narrative unfolds the rise of a prominent Jewish Baghdadi family, renowned as the "Rothschilds of the East," who built a vast empire spanning finance and trade across three continents. Originating from Mesopotamia, the Sassoons faced adversity, fleeing Baghdad to rebuild their fortune in Bushehr. They dominated the opium trade in India, expanded into textiles, banking, and shipping, and became influential figures in British society. The saga culminates with their alliance with the Rothschild family, weaving a rich tapestry of commerce, power, and legacy against a backdrop of historical change.
