The Last Tycoons: The Secret History of Lazard Frères & Co.

Product Description
A grand and revelatory portrait of Wall Street’s most storied investment bank

The Greatest Trade Ever: The Behind-the-Scenes Story of How John Paulson Defied Wall Street and Made Financial History

Product Description
In 2006, hedge fund manager John Paulson realized something few others suspected–that the housing market and the value of subprime mortgages were grossly inflated and headed for a major fall.  Paulson’s background was in mergers and acquisitions, however, and he knew little about real estate or how to wager against housing.  He had spent a career as an also-ran on Wall Street.
