Product Description:
Recently, reorganizations, restructurings, and bankruptcies have replaced IPOs as the common financial vehicle of the times. However, these distressed companies can still provide an avenue for profitable investing. This eagerly anticipated new reference helps guide you through this treacherous landscape in order to master the multi-move chess-like strategies required to achieve financially advantageous results for your portfolio. It is the most up-to-date and comprehensive book on the market to deal with the myriad of issues surrounding a distressed company.
Providing theoretical and practical insight, Distressed Debt Analysis: Strategies for Speculative Investors presents a conceptual, but not overly technical, outline of the financial and bankruptcy law context in which restructurings take place. The book covers the broader financial environment of the reorganization and the basic process of investment analysis and investment strategies. The author uses numerous real-world examples and case studies to emphasize important concepts and critical issues.
The developments that have created these extraordinary investment opportunities have also created tremendous demand for professionals with experience and knowledge in the restructuring process. Distressed Debt Analysis: Strategies for Speculative Investors addresses the complete knowledge needs of investors and professionals in the burgeoning world of financially distressed companies. It is perfect for bankruptcy departments of law firms, restructuring advisory groups, turnaround consulting firms, and reorganization and distressed securities departments of investment banks.

This book is an excellent primer on the world of distressed investing and by default, restructuring. While some of the finance is basic, it provides a complete framework for understanding the additional moving parts involved with distressed investing while giving clear examples even a five year old could comprehend (well okay, maybe just someone with any basic corporate finance exposure).
The one thing that it lacks which I would like to see (maybe in a more advanced sequel), would be a section on actual case studies and more in-depth explanations on strategies. That said, the author's main purpose was to provide a primer on the subject which I think he did wonderfully.

Read this one a couple of years ago.
In my opinion, this book is the best book written on the subject.
Very practical guide to distressed debt analysis; very structured, easy to read, great overview of potential legal issues. Helps a reader to develop a right mindset for distressed debt investing.
Rating: -
If you are looking at distressed assets (not just debt) of any kind, this is the only book you need.
All bases are covered, from legal proceedings, financial statement analysis, to market micro-structure.
This is not a suitable book for retail investors, unless the issue happens to be very large and liquid (e.g. Calpine debt in 12/'07). This text is directed primarily at institutional investors, so know this before you buy.
Other subjects are covered such as "loan to own", etc.
A winner.

Extremely helpful in preparing our new hires - it is required reading. This book will be a desk reference for years to come.

Unlike many academic books, this is a practical analysis of distressed debt, the bankruptcy process, and all the related financial, accounting and valuation issues that arise in this context. It is well written and well organized.
Some other books on the topic go into significantly more detail in esoteric issues; however this book is a must for a grounded detailed understanding of the topic. I have recommended this book to a number of colleagues in the industry and all were equally appreciative.
