Synopsis This corporate portrait of the esteemed investment firm Lazard Frères covers several decades, and includes accounts of big money, huge egos, and high-stakes power plays, as well as sordid tales of office hijinks and sexcapades. William D. Cohan explains the complex world of investment banking, and reports on the changes in Wall Street as its tradition-bound mix of old customs and social rankings (of people and companies) gave way to bold new masters of the universe. He tracks the legendary power struggle between Felix Rohatyn and Steve Rattner, as well as the battle for succession between Michel David-Weill and Bruce Wasserstein for what became Lazard, Ltd.
