"Tibman offers a version which feels true."{

"a strong sense of Lehman’s history, including what Tibman sees as Fuld’s finest hour, the aftermath of 9/11...This doesn’t mean he lets Fuld off for his many mistakes, and Tibman is good on the way Fuld’s embattled, paranoid worldview had seeped into the mentality of the bank, and helped prevent people realising just how deep a hole they were in." --John Lanchester London review of Books

"Joseph Tibman, you've written a great book"
"a fascinating history that covers nearly 20 years of Dick Fuld's rise and fall at Lehman. " --Donald R. van Deventer, PhD

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

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

"...the lesson from Tibman's memoir of Lehman is the profound ambiguity of a seductive culture and an all-powerful, if Wizard of Oz-like leader." --The Deal

"Explosive." --N'Digo

"The Murder of Lehman Brothers is a compelling narrative of one insider's journey within the burning walls of the failed investment bank... a fresh account" --Market Folly

LB's demise and guide to the economic collapse of 2008.
