About the Book

Using extensive documentary evidence and interviews with former Lehman employees, Oonagh McDonald reveals the decisions that led to Lehman's collapse, investigates why the government refused a bail-out and whether the implications of this refusal were fully understood.

In clear and accessible language she demonstrates both the short and long term effects of Lehman's collapse.
