*THE OUTRAGEOUS INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER*

The classic book by Michael Lewis that defined an era of greed, luxury, and extreme fortune in London and New York, from the author of The Big Short and Going Infinite.

The story takes place in the 1980s. The place is Wall Street. The game is called Liar's Poker. Michael Lewis, fresh from Princeton and the London School of Economics, got a job at Salomon Brothers, one of Wall Street's top investment firms. Over the next three years, Lewis rose from a junior trainee to a bond salesman, making millions for the firm.

From a mere trainee to a shy geek, to the triumphant Big Swinging Dick: that was Michael Lewis's rapid passage through the halls of Salomon Brothers in New York and London during the frenetic 1980s when it was possibly the most powerful and profitable trading bank in the world.

Funny, frightening, subversive, and relentless, Liar's Poker is the original story of hysterical greed and excessive ambition, a story that is more powerful and compelling than ever.

"If you thought Gordon Gekko from the movie Wall Street was an untruthful and corrupt fantasy, see how reality seems to you. This revealing account of the frenzy of bond trading is the work of a real bond salesman."
