    Description of Liar's Poker, 2nd edition

    From mere trainee, to triumphal Big Swinging Dick: that was Michael Lewis' pell-mell progress through the dealing rooms of Salomon Brothers in New York and London during the heady mid-1980s when they were probably the world's most powerful and profitable merchant bank. This is a tale of greed and ambition set in an obsessed, enclosed world.

    Reviews

    'The joy of the book comes in its rich cast of characters with nicknames such as The Human Piranha, explained by the author with clarity and humour.'
    Financial Times

    'An amazing book, readable, funny and mind-boggling. One of the great business books of all time.'
    Punch

    'The funniest book about Wall Street I have ever read.'
    Tom Wolfe

    'A curiously Chaucerian tale of wise men and fools, backstabbings, prat-falls and come-uppances. It should be made a legally required component of every MBA course.'
    Management Today

    'If you thought Gordon Gekko of the Wall Street movie was an implausibly corrupt piece of fiction, see how you like the real thing.This rip-the-lid-off account of the bond-dealing brouhaha is the work of a real-life bond salesman. Read all about it: headlong greed, inarticulate obscenity, Animal House horseplay.'
    The Sunday Times
