  • "Economics. Business. A blockbuster saga about the richest and most powerful people on Wall Street. The world's most elite and private investment bank, Lazard Freres & Co. operated under a unique strategy, offering clients the wisdom of the most experienced collection of investment bankers the world had to offer. But starting in the mid-1980s, this strategy was tested as never before."@en
  • "A grand and revelatory portrait of Wall Street's most storied investment bank ... Wall Street investment banks move trillions of dollars a year, make billions in fees, pay their executives in the tens of millions of dollars. But even among the most powerful firms, Lazard Frères & Co. stood apart. Discretion, secrecy, and subtle strategy were its weapons of choice. For more than a century, the mystique and reputation of the "Great Men" who worked there allowed the firm to garner unimaginable profits, social cachet, and outsized influence in the halls of power. But in the mid-1980s, their titanic egos started getting in the way, and the Great Men of Lazard jeopardized all they had built. William D. Cohan, himself a former high-level Wall Street banker, takes the reader into the mysterious and secretive world of Lazard and presents a compelling portrait of Wall Street through the tumultuous history of this exalted and fascinating company."@en
