Business & management

From an award-winning New York Times reporter comes the full, mind-boggling true story

of the lies, crimes, and ineptitude behind the Enron scandal that imperiled

a presidency, destroyed a marketplace, and changed Washington and Wall Street forever.

It was the corporate collapse that appeared to come out of nowhere. In late

2001, the Enron Corporation-a darling of the financial world, a company whose executives

were friends of presidents and the powerful-imploded virtually overnight, leaving

vast wreckage in its wake and sparking a criminal investigation that would last for

years.

Kurt Eichenwald transforms the unbelievable

story of the Enron scandal into a rip-roaring narrative of epic proportions, taking readers behind every closed door-from the Oval Office to the executive suites,

from the highest reaches of the Justice Department to the homes and bedrooms of the

top officers. It is a tale of global reach-from Houston to Washington, from Bombay

to London, from Munich to Sao Paolo-laying out the unbelievable scenes that twisted

together to create this shocking true story.

Eichenwald reveals never-disclosed

details of a story that features a cast including George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Paul

O'Neill, Harvey Pitt, Colin Powell, Gray Davis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Alan Greenspan,

Ken Lay, Andy Fastow, Jeff Skilling, Bill Clinton, Rupert Murdoch and Sumner Redstone.

With its you-are-there glimpse into the secretive worlds of corporate power, Conspiracy

of Fools is an all-true financial and political thriller of cinematic proportions.
