Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction

FIASCO is the definitive account of the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the investment bank whose failure triggered the 2008 financial crisis. Written by two Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists, FIASCO is a riveting narrative that takes readers inside the boardroom meetings and backroom deals that led to Lehman's downfall.

Vaughan and Kelly have interviewed hundreds of people involved in the Lehman collapse, from top executives to junior bankers. They have pored over thousands of pages of documents, including emails, memos, and financial statements. The result is a book that is both authoritative and accessible, a gripping tale of hubris, greed, and miscalculation.

FIASCO is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the causes and consequences of the financial crisis. It is a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked ambition and the importance of financial regulation.
