The Devil’s Casino

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Vicky Ward tells the story of the four close friends who re-created Lehman Brothers—setting out to prove that ambitious and savvy men with no financial training could take on the Ivy-League-educated white shoe bankers on Wall Street. In The Devil’s Casino: Friendship, Betrayal, and the High Stakes Games Played Inside Lehman Brothers she gives an account of how good men lost their way and how Lehman Brothers came apart from within.
