Story Behind The Book
I wrote this book because a twenty-year Lehman veteran I wanted to be sure there would be one non-tabloid account with the insight that only an insider can bring. I also believe that much of what caused not just the Lehman bankruptcy, but the full financial global meltdown be explained in a way that the average reader can understand.
If you are a finance professional, you will find that the book rings true.
If you are one of the far more numerous readers who have never worked in finance then you should find that this book will make for both a page-turning read as well as explain exactly why the financial crisis occurred and why we remain at risk.
Reviews

Tibman presents a more complex and shifting judgment, which is one of the strengths of the book." T<strong>he Deal Magazine</strong><br /><br />"Tibman has probably written the most user-friendly account of LB's demise and guide to the economic collapse of 2008." <strong>Civilian Reader</strong>, UK<br /><br />"Everyone knew that subprime lenders aided and abetted mortgage fraud. To my knowledge, the only investment banker who wrote candidly about the subject was Joseph Tibman..." <strong>Huffington Post</strong>
