Daniel Okrent Review
“Astute readers have long known that Diana Henriques is a fine writer and a powerful reporter. Here, though, she demonstrates a new skill: superb historian. Her account of Wall Street in the time of its greatest crisis, and of the men who brought it to heel, is simply outstanding.”
—Daniel Okrent, author of Last Call and The Guarded Gate
Joe Berlinger Review
“This is historical storytelling at its best! With vivid characters, cinematic settings, and nonstop pacing, Diana Henriques brings to life a real-life political battle from the 1930s that is still deeply relevant almost a century later. It is a vital story—a rare instance when Washington faced down Wall Street’s titans and summoned the courage to get it right.”
—Joe Berlinger, award-winning documentary filmmaker and director of the Netflix series Madoff: Monster of Wall Street
