It was the corporate collapse that appeared to come out of
nowhere. In late 2001, the Enron Corporation--a darling of
the financial world, a company whose executives were
friends of presidents and the powerful--imploded virtually
overnight, leaving vast wreckage in its wake and sparking a
criminal investigation that would last for years. But for
all that has been written about the Enron debacle, no one
has yet to re-create the full drama of what has already
become a near-mythic American tale. Until now. With Conspiracy of Fools, Kurt Eichenwald
transforms the unbelievable story of the Enron scandal into
a rip-roaring narrative of epic proportions, one that is
sure to delight readers of thrillers and business books
alike, achieving for this new decade what books like
Barbarians at the Gate and A Civil Action accomplished in
the 1990’s. Written in the roller-coaster style of a novel, the
compelling narrative takes readers behind every closed door-
-from the Oval Office to the executive suites, from the
highest reaches of the Justice Department to the homes and
bedrooms of the top officers. It is a tale of global reach--
from Houston to Washington, from Bombay to London, from
Munich to Sao Paolo--laying out the unbelievable scenes
that twisted together to create this shocking true story. Eichenwald reveals never-disclosed details of a story that
features a cast including George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Paul
O’Neill, Harvey Pitt, Colin Powell, Gray Davis, Arnold
Schwarzenegger, Alan Greenspan, Ken Lay, Andy Fastow, Jeff
Skilling, Bill Clinton, Rupert Murdoch and Sumner Redstone.
With its you-are-there glimpse into the secretive worlds of
corporate power, Conspiracy of Fools is an all-true
financial and political thriller of cinematic proportions.
