Reviews Too Big to Fail: The Inside Story of How Wall Street and Washington Fought to Save the Financial System---and Themselves (Hardcover)

This book is the authoritative version of the market turmoil that brought the financial system to its knees in the Fall of 2008. It deserves its place in the pantheon of financial classics such as When Genius Failed, Liar's Poker, and Barbarian's at the Gate. The author tells a gripping behind-the-scenes narrative that is highly readable and entertaining. Especially for a New York Times reporter, the author is well balanced and fair in his treatment of the people and events involved. The book is incredibly well researched with an amazing amount of detail that really places the reader in the middle of the action. Despite it's length, the book is a very smooth read as it is well organized and the fast pace keeps the pages turning.
