Synopsis
It was Wall Street's toughest investment bank, taking risks where others feared to tread, run by testosterone-fuelled gamblers who hung a sign saying 'let's make nothing but money' over the trading floor.
Yet in March 2008 the 85-year-old firm Bear Stearns was brought to its knees - and global economic meltdown began. With unprecedented access to the people at the eye of the financial storm, William Cohan tells the outrageous story of how Wall Street's entire house of cards came crashing down.
'Gripping … high drama … riveting, edge-of-the-seat reading' Michio Kakutani, The New York Times

Reviewer: Nicholas Davidson
'This is a great book, in terms both of the absorbing history and of the remarkable personalities involved; all is brought out, and there is a surprising amount of humour to a story which should make one think why it might happen again.'
