 "The most popular book around investment bank Lazard Ltd. hasn't even been published yet... Mr. Cohan's work has sent a jolt through Lazard and the rest of Wall Street." —Wall Street Journal (March 7, 2007) "The Last Tycoons rips the roof off of one of Wall Street's most storied banks." —Vanity Fair (April 2007) "William D. Cohan mixes investigative zeal with inside knowledge and an ear for storytelling to produce 'The Last Tycoons,' an exhaustive history of the enigmatic investment-banking house now called Lazard Ltd." —Bloomberg News (March 26, 2007) "A new book is about to expose some dirty secrets about the international investment bank, and has Wall Street drooling with anticipation....[Lazard] is the subject of a new meticulously researched and titillatingly provocative book that chronicles the firm's illustrious ups and downs." —Fortune Magazine (April 2, 2007) "This book's subtitle is: 'A tale of unrestrained ambition, billion-dollar fortunes, byzantine power struggles and hidden scandals.' That seems accurate enough, except for the word 'hidden.' Judging from the contents of the book, the partners of Lazard's New York arm never tried hard to conceal internal feuding and sexual licentiousness. Even if one made the effort, another would spill his secret." —Financial Times (March 21, 2007) "Cohan's portrayal of the firm's dominant partners—whose gargantuan appetites and mercurial habits provide the unifying force behind the book's operatic melodramas—makes this an epic in its own way. In fact, The Last Tycoons bears a striking resemblance to F. Scott Fitzgerald's Last Tycoons." —New York Times Book Review "It's a fascinating, if somewhat tangled, tale of power, ego and lots and lots of money." —Newsweek "William D. Cohan's The Last Tycoons has already become this decade's required reading in the dealmaking community." —Dealmaker Magazine "The Last Tycoons by William D. Cohan is an intriguing mixture of The Bonfire of the Vanities, Barbarians at the Gate and Suite Francaise, the revelatory novel about the first years of the Nazi occupation of France...If you want an understanding of today's capitalism, read this, but be warned, it is not a pretty sight." —The Guardian (UK) MEDIA LINKS 04/02/07 CNBC "Squawk Box" interview with Bill Cohan 04/02/07 "Marketplace" interview with Bill Cohan 03/26/07 Bloomberg News review of The Last Tycoons 03/20/07 Fortune Magazine article on The Last Tycoons 03/20/07 Financial Times book review "Lazard Tales of Sex and Intrigue Uncovered" —subscribers only |
