The Murder of Lehman Brothers receives another excellent review --- from Donald R. van Deventer, PhD - Kamakura Business Book Review Blogger

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 23, 2009 -- "The Murder of Lehman Brothers, And Insider's Look at the Global Meltdown" has received 100% excellent reviews from professional critics. The latest review, entitled "An Appreciation: Joseph Tibman’s “The Murder of Lehman Brothers,”" joins a growing list of reviews that single out the book as not only an excellent read, but as unique among the current avalanche of financial crisis books.


Van Deventer's detailed review included the following comments:

“a fascinating history that covers nearly 20 years of Dick Fuld’s rise and fall at Lehman. "

"Joe also does a great job of putting the fall of Lehman in the full context of the 2007-2009 credit crisis”

“Joseph Tibman, you’ve written a great booBricktower bucks”

Many critics have been disarmed by Tibman, a veteran two decade Lehman Brothers investment banker's, bluntly candid account. In it he spares no one at fault, including himself. Reviewers note that Tibman's unique and brutally honest perspective sets the book apart from the many journalists outsiders and occasional insiders who have published crisis books. Some journalists have written excellent accounts of the financial crisis, though critics note they lack the perspective of a true insider. Moreover, book reviewers have commented, not only is Tibman's tenure as a Lehman banker substantially longer than that of any other author, but he makes no excuses for his own participation in the flawed behavior that permeated Wall Street. Other insiders, critics agree, lack Tibman's credibility as they generally represent themselves as squeaky clean.

Brick Tower Books, Tibman's publisher, reports that a number of additional reviews are in the pipeline. Brick Tower, unlike the large New York houses, was willing to allow Tibman to publish under a pseudonym and to respect his sober account rather than insist on a tabloid version. The gambit has paid off --- as reviewers and readers have been riveted by Tibman's disarming and fascinating account. The author and publisher receive frequent feedback that this is the financial crisis book that rings true and could only have been written by a long-term insider.
