This is the story of the greatest con in financial history—one that has commanded the attention of the entire world from the day the news broke on December 11, 2008. Bernard Madoff's financial scheming roped in thousands of victims, ranging from boldfaced names—Steven Spielberg, Mortimer Zuckerman, Kevin Bacon, Elie Wiesel—to ordinary people who saw their nest eggs disappear in a smoke-and-mirrors debacle. The Enron machinations pale beside the havoc that Madoff created in people's lives. Who is this Bernie Madoff A shady con man A sociopath An evil genius Who was in on it with him And where is the money

The established expert on the Bernie Madoff case, journalist Andrew Kirtzman offers a riveting analysis of the man and his deeds that is filled with solid research and suspenseful storytelling.

Reviews for Betrayal: The Life and Lies of Bernie Madoff

"""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"
