Rating: Summary: A Needed Reminder to Get Back to Good Basic Business Ethics Review: Wow, what a book! Here is detailed information and facts behind the fall of Enron. Two journalists working for the Wall Street Journal detail the events that not only led up to the information they uncovered, but how they uncovered the information, how they did their research, and the consequent devastation that it caused to one of the largest companies in the World. Names, dates, documents, interviews, research, et. al are all included in this account. Certain clues that tipped off these two reporters are included, hunches that lead to hard facts are revealed.This book is a real eye opener. It should make us all realize that no one is immune to the corruption that can seep into any company, big or small, and how such corruption effects the lives of so many. The collapse of Enron caused waves that our market its still trying to recover from. If you are wanting the nitty gritty on the collapse of Enron, then you will not want to be without this work. It is definitive. This work is written in a journalistic fashion, so the reader can get easily caught up into the story, it is a fast-paced read, and it takes financial details that one could easily get lost in, or confused about and describes them in a very readable fashion. This book should be read by business men and women, historians, politicians, public figures, etc., as a reminder of how fragile and susceptible to corrupt dealings we all really are. This book should stand out as a reminder that Corporate America needs to fall back on some basic solid ethical principles.
