In this panoramic book, Julie Kalman restores their story-and Jewish history more broadly-to the histories of trade, corsairing, and high-stakes diplomacy in the Mediterranean during the Napoleonic Wars and their aftermath. Jacob Bacri dined with Napoleon himself. Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Horatio Nelson considered strategies to circumvent the Bacris' influence. As the families' ambitions grew, so did the perils, from imprisonment and assassination to fraud and family collapse.
