Following this earlier excerpt, The New York Sunday Times is running this second excerpt from Kurt Eichenwald’s new book on the Enron scandal, Conspiracy of Fools.
I am about halfway through Conspiracy of Fools and it is excellent. With more information and the benefit of more hindsight, Mr. Eichenwald’s book will likely replace the earlier Smartest Guys in the Room as the best book on the Enron scandal.
Houston's Clear Thinkers
Longtime Houston attorney Tom Kirkendall's observations on developments in law, business, medicine, culture, sports, and other matters of general interest to the Houston business, professional, and academic communities.
Thanks for the comments on this book. It’s amazing the lack oversight, among many other failings, at Enron. You have an excellent blog here. I check it often.
Books -has anybody heard of Jason Leopold? he has a book (memoir) called “News Junkie”… he supposedly ‘broke’ the ENRON scandal…
yeah, the book(News Junkie) is pretty interesting. Supposedly he worked for Epic Records and stole 100k worth of promo cds to feed his nasty cocaine habit. As far as breaking the Enron debacle , not sure if he was the sole provider of that opprobium. The book lives up to it’s hype. Probably would make a great movie – Tom Cruise are you listening????
