About this title

Review:

"Woodward has established himself as the best reporter of our time. He may be the best reporter of all time."
-- Bob Schieffer, CBS News Face the Nation

"Scrupulous and illuminating...Woodward lucidly explains the axes of intellectual and political disagreement over monetary policy...shedding new light on major conflicts of the Greenspan era."
-- The New York Times Book Review

"A gripping ride through the oddly fragile and insecure world of big money and the curious mind of Greenspan."
-- San Francisco Chronicle

"Fascinating, intimate...the best inside job on the subject yet to appear."
-- The Dallas Morning News

"Admirably accomplishes what it sets out to do: demystify a Washington institution that is dimly understood by most Americans."
-- USA Today

"Replete with the sort of fly-on-the-wall reporting for which Woodward is famous. What comes across most clearly is Greenspan's skill at the political power games that determine who survives in the cutthroat world of Washington."
-- BusinessWeek
