Customer Reviews: Interesting August 13, 2007 4 out of 4 found this review helpful Not only it gives an insight to investment banking, I found it also interesting, almost like a ficton. I don't think it is just gossip. On the contrary it outlines the evolution of investment banking and draws quite well the figures of the main protagonists. I don't know if everything is true, but for sure it is an interesting point of view and it seems to be well documented. A Wilderness of Mirrors April 18, 2007 7 out of 8 found this review helpful Based on unique access Mr Cohan has put together a comprehensive picture of one of the last private banks in the Investment Banking world. As objective a view as anybody would ever be able to get of this world where perception and reality can not be distinguished even by those inside the firm. Lazard was lucky enough to have a transatlantic Mergers and Acquisition business that its competitors tried to emulate in the giddy 1990's. A cast of characters which were the last of the "stars", that created so much heat they burned each other to cinders. A fitting obituary to a world that disappeared.
