Through unprecedented access to the players involved, Andrew Ross Sorkin re-creates all the drama and turmoil of those turbulent days, revealing never-before-disclosed details and recounting how - motivated as often by ego and greed as by fear and self-preservation - the most powerful men and women in finance and politics decided the fate of the world’s economy.
