A Wall Street Memoir
Read offline
Recommendation
Over the last decade we have seen many self-serving autobiographies and memoirs, but Henry Kaufman’s is certainly is not one of them. Kaufman is an investment banker, but he is also a scholar and a gentleman. These memoirs capture the mettle of the man from his start in the banking business, through his years at Salomon Brothers and eventually to his own consulting business. The period covered, from pre-world War II to the end of the 20th century, is the most dynamic time in the history of the financial markets. It is Kaufman’s insights into these revolutionary years on Wall Street that make this a gripping tale. getAbstract.com recommends this book to all executives and investors, many of whom would benefit greatly from a refresher course in Wall Street history.
