Investing Books - Debt & Distressed

Can you recommend any investing books that focus on high-yield or distressed debt? I am looking to gain more insight into analyzing the capital structure of companies in cases in which it actually matters.

Also, it would be a major plus if these books were available in PDF form online.

Thanks!

don't like the book that much as it is focused on trading and not on analyzing companies. ie if you are in S&T it is probably useful, but if you are in a banking lev fin group, distressed or credit fund focused on research it might not be that helpful.

 

I just read the marty whitman book. I think the stephen moyer book is a better book overall, but I'd recommend reading the whitman book first.
