Just polished off the latest tome on the Enron debacle, by Kurt Eichenwald. I can attest that it is a true story, having lived it for 5 years. If you’re interested in how Enron caused the collapse of the stock market, the restructuring of corporate America, the Spanish Revolution, polio and chronic halitosis, this book is for you. Otherwise, don’t bother. Or, if you’re really into punishing yourself, follow this one up with “The Smartest Guys in the Room.” It’s pretty much the same book. I think there’s also a movie coming out.
