New York Times journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin gives the first comprehensive account of the greatest American financial crisis since the Great Depression and its expansion into a global event. Too Big to Fail is the definitive story of the most powerful men and women in finance and politics grappling with success and failure, ego and greed, and, ultimately, the fate of the world's economy. It is also a real-life thriller with a cast who thought that they, as well as their banks, were too big to fail. Reuters remarked, "...Sorkin has succeeded in writing the book of the crisis, with amazing levels of detail and access."
