A year after the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers on September 15, 2008, questions still swirl around its collapse.

Lawrence MacDonald, whose book A Colossal Failure of Common Sense came out in July 2009, maintains that the bank was not in substantially worse shape than other major Wall Street banks.
