Description
Book SynopsisDespite the crush of media attention on Madoff's scam, little is known about Madoff himself. What could lead a seemingly good man to ruin the lives of everyone who ever cared about him? What caused Bernie Madoff to commit an unspeakable act of betrayal, bankrupting his family and thousands of investors who depended upon him for their livelihoods?
Trade Review"Andrew Kirtzman's Betrayal offers the biggest payoff of the three [Madoff] books. It's a perfect meld of business details and personalities... He has perfect pitch when it comes to the agony and shame of the Jewish community." -- Time magazine "Accurate and highly readable." -- Wall Street Journal "Kirtzman's book is the more engaging read, focusing much more on Madoff himself and on the anger and shame his crimes provoked, whether in the Fifth Avenue Synagogue in New York or the confines of the Palm Beach Country Club in Florida." -- Reuters
