Boy Wonder of Wall Street: The Life and Times of Financier Eddie Gilbert

( 1 )

Overview

Ever oscillating between absolute triumph and failure, the volatile life of the acrobatic financial genius Eddie Gilbert is a drama bordering on Shakespearean proportions. Jailed two times and on his way to making his third fortune, Eddie Gilbert's is a most entertaining real life story. Although reminiscent of famous financiers, such as Michael Milken, Gilbert's story has yet to be heard.

    Fascinating Read About a Fascinating Character

    Despite a bit more financial and legal detail than the average reader might want, the story is presented with sympathy but no sentiment. Suspenseful, even incredible in places, still provides a profile of an extraordinary individual. Well researched.
