"Do not put another dime into the stock market before reading this book. In all the millions of words that have been written about the Enron scandal, these are the first that really explain, in a way anyone can understand, what actually happened in the greatest stock swindle of modern times. You'll learn what Enron's business really consisted of, how the accounting for it really worked, and who the key executives really were? in particular chairman Kenneth Lay, the proselytizing son of a Missouri preacher, and Lay's protégé, Jeffrey Skilling, who earned the nickname of Darth Vader for his ruthless behavior. You'll follow Enron's forays into everything from the Internet to the California energy market, learning how Skilling and Lay influenced Wall Street analysts to say only favorable things about the company, and what happened to the analysts who didn't oblige. And you'll behold the inevitable doom that eventually comes to shareholders who believe that rising stock prices are proof of increasing value. In the end they may be proof of nothing more than what the world has now come to know as "Enronitis." This is the book that explains what that word really means." —Christopher Byron, author, Martha Inc."The Enron story, for most of us, is a monster. Fusaro and Miller clarify what went wrong in a manner that allows anyone to get their arms around the beast quickly, without killing oneself." —Bill Crawford, former Chicago Tribune financial writer and Pulitzer Prize winner
"The authors' sharp insights into Enron's self-destructive culture provide a clear road map into its massive failure." —Peter Behr, Washington Post financial writer
