By Jonathan A. Knee

Knee, an investment banker at Goldman Sachs for four years beginning in 1994 and at Morgan Stanley from 1998 to 2003, describes the operations of these firms and explains the role of investment bankers and how "deals" are done. He weaves a fascinating tale of his employers and a multibillion-dollar industry, which was transformed culturally and structurally by extraordinary growth and then devastating retrenchment at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Knee mourns what he contends is the loss of historic integrity in the transition from boom to bust and describes many industry changes, including competition from hedge funds and LBOs (leveraged buyout firms). This book will attract those in the -investment-banking community as well as students of Wall Street. However, the author's lavish praise of certain individuals at Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley set against his stinging criticism of others reflect his judgment and perhaps that of his anonymous sources. His view of reality may not be shared by all.
