Recensione:

“Comprehensive and chilling.”
—Time

“. . . His action scenes are intimate and engaging.” 
—The New Yorker

“Sorkin’s prodigious reporting and lively writing put the reader in the room for some of the biggest-dollar conference calls in history. It’s an entertaining book, brisk book . . . Sorkin skillfully captures the raucous enthusiasm and riotous greed that fueled this rational irrationality.”

“Brings the drama alive with unusual inside access and compelling detail . . . A deeply researched account of the financial meltdown."

—The Economist

“Sorkin’s densely detailed and astonishing narrative of the epic financial crisis of 2008 is an extraordinary achievement that will be hard to surpass as the definitive account . . . as a dramatic close-up, his book is hard to beat.”

“Sorkin’s book, like its author, is a phenom . . . an absolute tour de force.”
—The American Prospect
