Murder of Lehman Gets Great Book Reviews

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 3, 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 credibilty.

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”
