Rainmaker: The Sage of Jeff Beck, Wall Streetªs Mad Dog

Even by the standards of Wall Street in the 1980s, Jeff Beck s amazing life story was too good to be true. One of the Street s most prominent investment bankers, Beck was involved in many of the biggest deals of the decade & made a fortune in the process. He was the Mad Dog, a veteran of hand-to-hand combat in the jungles of Vietnam & a secret billionaire. The only problem was, none of this was true. Bianco follows Beck s career from its beginnings & weaves together the contradictory strands of his personality. His story is a metaphor for an era that prized shadow over substance, expediency over heroism, money over love.
