Like the House of Lazard, this book is built around Great Men: the patrician Andre Meyer, the proud David David-Weill, the wily Bruce Wasserstein, but above all Felix Rohatyn, the pre-eminent financier of his era. The author adds three things which characterise the best reportage: access, insight, and an exemplary ability to transport us into their world. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

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.

To reach the success they, basically speaking, had to master each of these worlds.
