Financial crises & disasters; Economic history; Banking

A first-person account of the white-knuckle weekend that brought

the financial world to its knees, from one of America's most famous

business reporters. As bankers and government officials scrambled to keep the economy

from total collapse during the weekend of September 12-14, 2008, top

CNBC anchor Maria Bartiromo was taking frantic phone calls from the

most powerful players on Wall Street and in Washington. Through these intimate conversations, she had an unequaled

perspective on the crisis and its aftermath, the personalities

involved, and the emotions at work. Now she draws on her high-level

network to provide an eyewitness account of the biggest events of the

financial crisis, including lengthy interviews with former treasury

secretary Henry Paulson, former AIG chairman Hank Greenberg, and former

Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain, among many others. Writing with both authority and dramatic flair, Bartiromo also

tackles the big questions- how did an unmatched period of market

euphoria and growth turn sour, catapulting the economy into a dangerous

slide? And in the long run, how will the near catastrophe really change

Wall Street?
