## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well written by former Goldman Sachs currency trader.
*by L***A on September 4, 1999*

This was evidently the most popular summer book both at Goldman Sachs and at Morgan Stanley. I know I bought it the first day it was out at Borders, and I recommended it to colleagues immediately. Although this book does provide a glimpse into the secret world of one of the top investment banking limited partnerships, it is difficult to evaluate objectively since Ms. Endlich was a former foreign currency trader at Goldman. Nevertheless, the book is well written with what appears to be daylight clarity. The history of the development and evolution of Goldman Sachs is fascinating, and I was particularly interested in the story of how Goldman took over the commodity trading company J. Aron in 1981 and the subsequent inpact that had on Goldman's profitability. Ms. Endlich does have a clear advantage with her access to some of the principals who are still alive, and that may be her chief contribution. Ms. Endlich also deals with several of the near collapses of Goldman Sachs including the failure of Goldman Sachs Trading Corp. in 1929, which took several decades to recover from, and the Penn Central commercial paper scandal of 1969 & 70. There have been other rumored large losses from proprietary trading at Goldman Sachs over the years. Goldman Sachs like Morgan Stanley had a genteel client list and both became top investment banks. Ms. Endlich, however, portrays Goldman as the inventor of the raid-defense in a series of hostile takeovers. It is not clear just how accurate this favorable portrayal of Goldman in the M&A business is. Goldman recently went public with a well publicized IPO. The firm will now be subject to much more stringent public disclosure, and they have already indicated that they will curtail their aggressive proprietary trading. All in all, a well written informative book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ OUTSTANDING BOOK!  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
*by N***D on October 30, 2009*

This is probably one of my favorite books. I've read it several times. The bad reviews do not portray this book accurately and I think it should be rated more highly on Amazon. It is an excellent read for anyone wants to know more about the history and culture of Goldman Sachs.The book is very broad and analyzes the many success and failures of Goldman Sachs from its founding in 1869 up to the IPO in 1999. It does an excellent job of presenting the many challenges that Goldman Sachs faced over the decades and how senior management dealt with those challenges.The book contains a wealth of information regarding Goldman Sachs history as well as some biographical information, which is otherwise difficult to find.What I personally liked most is the highly personal and vivid descriptions the author gives of the senior partners who helped shape Goldman Sachs throughout the decades including the early Goldmans and Saches, Sidney Weinberg, Gus Levy, John Weinberg and John Whitehead, Robert Ruben and Stephen Friedman, Hank Paulson and Jon Corzine, etc.You really get a sense how they think during their tenure at the firm and how they operated the firm.It is one of my favorite books and I highly recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Decent
*by F***N on March 31, 2016*

This book recounts the history of Goldman Sachs until 1998. It ends extremely abruptly. Moreover, it is very one-sided. The author promotes the view that Goldman Sachs and its employees never once committed any illegal actions. I believe it is a good introduction to Goldman Sachs, but I would prefer if it were less biased. Also, I would be interested in a book that covers from 1998 to today.
