Liar's Poker, Moneyball, The Blind Side, The Big Short, The Undoing Project, and The Fifth Risk are all best-sellers by Michael Lewis.

The 1980s were here. Wall Street was the location. Liar's Poker was the name of the game.

Michael Lewis had just graduated from Princeton and the London School of Economics when he secured a job at Salomon Brothers, one of the most prestigious investing firms on Wall Street. Over the next three years, Lewis progressed from inexperienced trainee to bond salesperson, raking in millions for the firm and profiting from a modern-day gold rush.

Liar's Poker is the culmination of those heady, frantic years, providing a behind-the-scenes glimpse at a unique and chaotic period in American industry. From the frat-boy camaraderie of the forty-first-floor trading room to the killer instinct that drove ambitious young men to risk everything on a high-stakes game of bluffing and deception, Michael Lewis's knowing and hilarious insider's account of an unprecedented era of greed, gluttony, and outrageous fortune is presented.
