Synopsis
Say the name "Enron" and most people believe they've heard all about the story that imperiled a presidency, destroyed a marketplace, and changed Washington and Wall Street forever. However in the hands of Eichenwald, the players and the business practices are transformed into entirely new--and entirely gripping--material., From an award-winning New York Times reporter comes the full, mind-boggling true story of the lies, crimes, and ineptitude behind the Enron scandal that imperiled a presidency, destroyed a marketplace, and changed Washington and Wall Street forever. It was the corporate collapse that appeared to come out of nowhere. In late 2001, the Enron Corporation-a darling of the financial world, a company whose executives were friends of presidents and the powerful-imploded virtually overnight, leaving vast wreckage in its wake and sparking a criminal investigation that would last for years. Kurt Eichenwald transforms the unbelievable story of the Enron scandal into a rip-roaring narrative of epic proportions, taking readers behind every closed door-from the Oval Office to the executive suites, from the highest reaches of the Justice Department to the homes and bedrooms of the top officers. It is a tale of global reach-from Houston to Washington, from Bombay to London, from Munich to Sao Paolo-laying out the unbelievable scenes that twisted together to create this shocking true story. Eichenwald reveals never-disclosed details of a story that features a cast including George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Paul O'Neill, Harvey Pitt, Colin Powell, Gray Davis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Alan Greenspan, Ken Lay, Andy Fastow, Jeff Skilling, Bill Clinton, Rupert Murdoch and Sumner Redstone. With its you-are-there glimpse into the secretive worlds of corporate power, Conspiracy of Fools is an all-true financial and political thriller of cinematic proportions., From an award-winning New York Times reporter comes the full, mind-boggling true story of the lies, crimes, and ineptitude behind the Enron scandal that imperiled a presidency, destroyed a marketplace, and changed Washington and Wall Street forever.

- u***u (409)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis item arrived quickly and well-packaged, but I was disappointed to see stains on the front cover that I didn't see in the picture, no doubt because a close-up wasn't provided. I also don't doubt that the seller would have allowed me to return it for a full refund, but I just didn't want to deal with the trouble. Nonetheless, with that assumption in mind, in spite of my disappointment, my inclination is to give a positive review.Ms. Magazine July 1972 First Issue "Wonder Women For President" (#388092586116)
