"Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear, when giants like Mary Meeker moved millions with a single appearance on CNBC. Knee, a partner at boutique investment bank Evercore Partners whos also logged time at Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, here provides a candid and irreverent insiders account of an industry in free fall during the boom-and-bust decade and into the 21st century. Knee takes aim at a range of Street figures, from Joseph Perella to new Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. But theres also a bit of self-stroking, as the author celebrates the virtues of boutique firmslike his own."--BusinessWeek "The best account I've read of how the Internet boom and bust was experienced inside the investment banking department of a big Wall Street firm."--Michael Lewis, Bloomberg.com "The fashion world has 'The Devil Wears Prada'. Hollywood has 'You'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again'. Now Wall Street is getting...The Accidental Investment Banker.... A rare, ringside seat inside the madcap and often egomaniacal world of Wall Street's Masters of the Universe.... For would-be bankers, the book is an excellent primer on what it's really like; for current bankers it will be a guilty pleasure."--Andrew Ross Sorkin, New York Times "Entertainingly indiscreet.... Knee's talent for wicked pen portraits is put to good use because he worked in the vicinity of some the most colorful and intriguing investment bankers of the 1990s."--John Gapper, Financial Times "Articulate and funny.... One of the street's top media bankers, Knee has written what is at once an homage to old school investment banking and an insider's reflection on how the boom era reshaped hisindustry.... A very good picture of work life on Wall Street through the turn of the century."--MarketWatch.com "For anyone who remembers the crazy boom times, and the even crazier bust, Jonathan A. Knee's 'The Accidental Investment Banker' is a must.... Reveals a world that rivals '24' in intrigue and drama."--Fortune "Not since Michael Lewis's 'Liar's Poker' has there been as good, as accessible or as pithy a look at the world of investment banking.... Unlike Lewis, who was a flash in the Wall Street pan, Knee has spent more than a decade working his way up the ladder, and he has a pleasant and self-effacing way of weaving his own experiences at Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley with the history of those firms. Knee has great fun cutting some of Wall Street's biggest egos down to size while exposing how little there really is to all that high-priced financial wizardry. He's written a wonderful primer for anyone who has wondered how Wall Street really works, and a wonderful reminder for those who already know how far professional standards have fallen."--Steve Pearlstein, Washington Post "This insider's chronicle brims with humor and insight as it depicts a civilized world driven mad by money."--Fast Company "A thumping ride across deep waters, Knee evokes the precarious, risky thrills courted by businesspeople great and small. Smart, clever and unfailingly articulate.... Knee maintains a reporter's sense of detachment, observing how the decade in question turned into an economic house of mirrors as money-guzzling dotcoms bloomed and withered, playing havoc with long-established rules and mores, nurturing an era of incompetence and brawling, veiled in thetraditional pseudo-gentility of a privileged profession.... Funny and knowing, this business memoir debut should appeal to a wide swath of business veterans."--Publishers Weekly "A refugee from the investment-banking implosion that accompanied the various other bubble bursts of the late '90s, Knee argues that his profession has sold out its legacy of independence and solid judgment, much to its own shame--and to the clear and present danger of those affected by its decisions (which is to say everyone)."--Atlantic Monthly "Captures the glories and agonies of his prof
