Description
“Accurate and highly readable.”
—Wall Street Journal
Emmy award-winning journalist Andrew Kirtzman, explores “The Life and Lies of Bernie Madoff” in Betrayal—an in-depth, personal look at the architect of the biggest financial fraud in history. The New York Times calls Betrayal, “a novelistic, you-are-there sort of narrative,” and the shocking story of the King of the Swindlers—and his hundreds of celebrity and corporation victims, and the everyday people who tragically invested their life savings with him—does indeed read like a page-turning thriller. But it’s all amazingly, disturbingly true.

Reviews
“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
