Review:
It is too early to say who will emerge as the definitive chroniclers of this crisis, but this book by William Cohan ... seems likely to end up as one of the key texts (The Observer)
A riveting, blow-by-blow account (Economist)
Read it, learn and weep (Businessweek)
First drafts of history don't get much better than this (Bloomberg)
A fly-on-the-wall record ... Cohan is a master of this genre. He perfectly captures the raw voice of Wall Street ... like Damon Runyon updated by Martin Scorsese (Martin Vander Weyer Spectator Business)
