Do You Sincerely Want to Be Rich?: The Full Story of Bernard Cornfeld and I.O.S. (Library of Larceny)
“A splendid story quite splendidly told. . . . [The authors] have researched their subject well; this is no instant history. They savor the drama and the madness, but they stick to business and write with restraint. Cornfeld’s girls, castles, and planes come into the story mostly as they contributed to expense.” —John Kenneth Galbraith,Book World“The best book of its kind I have ever read . . . unravels the financial complexity of Investors Overseas Services so skillfully that the general reader will have no difficulty in understanding what happened.” —New Statesmen“A tremendously complex story. . . . [The authors] seem to have poked into every scandal, checked every statistic and interviewed everyone who would talk, from Bernie Cornfeld himself down to the disgruntled employee who told them: ‘If anyone was fool enough to put their money with us, that was their problem.’” —Otto Friedrich,New York Times Book Review
