Secure TransactionBook Description
A rare, ringside seat inside the madcap and often egomaniacal world of Wall Street's Masters of the Universe . . . For would-be bankers, the book is an excellent primer on what it's really like; for current bankers it will be a guilty pleasure.
-The New York Times
Finally we have someone willing to lift the curtain. . . . With refreshing candor and engaging prose, [this book] takes us inside the world of investment banking.
-James B. Stewart, author of Den of Thieves and DisneyWar
[Knee] captures the glories and agonies of his profession. General readers will marvel.
-The Wall Street Journal
Entertainingly indiscreet . . . Knee's talent for wicked pen portraits is put to good use.
-Financial Times
For anyone who remembers the crazy boom times, and the even crazier bust, Jonathan A. Knee's The Accidental Investment Banker is a must. This tell-all chronicles Knee's time at Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, revealing a world that rivals 24 in intrigue and drama.
