Going for Broke by John Rothchild

Rothchild tells the incredible story of Robert Campeau's rise and fall, from his acquisition of major department store chains with $11 billion in loans the banks were all too eager to give, to his demise, when the overwhelming debt, coupled with eccentric management practices, drove him into bankruptcy. A fitting epilogue to the money-mad Era of Debt--a story of bankers who bent the rules of lending until they broke. Photographs.

The blockbusters One Up on Wall Street, Beating the Street, and Learn to Earn were co-written by JOHN ROTHCHILD and Peter Lynch. The Bear Book, A Fool and His Money, and Going for Broke are all written by Rothchild alone. Rothchild has written for Harper's, Rolling Stone, Esquire, and other publications. He was a former editor of the Washington Monthly and Fortune magazine. On the Today show, the Nightly Business Report, and CNBC, he has appeared.
