5.0 out of 5 stars In a league of its own, 24 Feb 2009

By	Thomas Koetzsch (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Charles D. Ellis does an excellent job in recounting the history of Goldman Sachs. Rather than following its history chronologically the author tells it through the company's partners and learning experiences such as Penn Central's bankruptcy, Robert Maxwell and Long-term Capital Management to name just three of them plus of course the things Goldman Sachs has developed and does really well. The company's decision to list or not to do so is covered quite extensively with all sides and opinions of the argument being looked at. Goldman Sachs and the ongoing financial crisis is not covered in the book but I wouldn't be at all surprised if the author decides to write an up-date once the dust from this on-going event has settled.
What makes this book rather interesting reading is not so much that the author worked as a strategy consultant for Goldman Sachs but that the firm agreed to give him full and uncensored access to everyone so that this book is a real inside story and not just a corporate history.
