ESPIONAGE. FRAUD. POLITICS. This book is one of the most chilling and compelling business stories I've ever read.

Oren Harari, Author, The Leadership Secrets of Colin Powell In this incredibly lucid and juicy account of Enron's shenanigans, Lynn Brewer courageously reveals what went on behind the scenes. What she reports will shock the financial press who voted Enron the most innovative and admired five years in a row. It will shame research analysts and investors who drove Enron's stock up into the stratosphere - while never being able to explain how Enron made money. Brewer hasn't forgotten the teachers, the small business owners and retirees who lost a bundle when the house of cards came crashing down. She urges us to see Enron not simply as the failure of a few people and institutions. No, it is symptomatic of our win-at-any-cost culture. this culture, which ultimately, like Enron, is unsustainable. L. J.
