Lehman Brothers Book Wins great reviews

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 11, 2009 -- The Murder of Lehman has emerged as the best financial crisis book to date. Written under a pseudonym by a senior banker at Lehman for 20 years, the book oozes credibility.

The Deal Magazine Friday called it the best Lehman book to date:

"The Murder of Lehman Brothers" is a better book [than A Colossal Failure of Common Sense]"

He [Tibman] presents a more nuanced portrait of the firm, its leadership, particularly CEO Richard Fuld, and the rank and file.

So who (or what) killed Lehman? Tibman presents a more complex and shifting judgment, which is one of the strengths of the book.

It moves quickly and inexorably.

What it does better than anything else is humanize a firm and its employees in a way that's been rare of late."


Capital Gains and Games:

“I recommend you read The Murder of Lehman Brothers to find out why the financial crisis happened.”

“This is the only [financial crisis book] that brings Wall Street culture to life and shows how reckless excess was fed by Washington politicians”

“"Joe" doesn't pull any punches with his mea culpas about "drinking the Kool-Aid," "rationalizing away risks...of delusional financiers,"

“I'm touting this book not only because it rings true about the Wall Street I know, but because it implicates the Washington political leaders who paved the way for Wall Street's excessive risk taking and predatory lending.

Tibman reacting to these first reviews said, "I set out to write a personal account that describes those most at fault as flawed human beings rather than the one-dimensional cartoon characters so often portrayed in the media and in the sensationalized Wall Street books. I am delighted that review in The Deal pointed out that the book humanizes what occurred at Lehman. I also set out to explain to people who are not financial professionals the many factors that led to the crisis that is far from over, so was also gratified that Capital Gains and Games stated that this was the book to read if one wants to understand why the financial crisis happened."
