Smartest Guys in the Room (10th-Anni Ed): The Amazing Rise and Scandalous Fall of Enron Paperback – 26 November 2013

Brilliant book, dives into exhaustive detail. Sketches out the characters complexity really well. Worth a read to understand some of the behaviour flaws that ruin a giant corporation.

I wanted to read this book for a long time...failure of the long term capital management and Enron are really unfortunate episodes and hence a must read to understand how a fine line exists between heroes and villains...Smart men who thought they could keep outsmarting others....one lie led to another and soon Enron became more of a fiction than real...

Anyone who is interested in businesses, finance or investments, do read this book. It tells you that most financial frauds are not orchestrated with an intention to defraud, they are an outcome of people’s self centred behaviour which is short sighted and uncontrollably optimistic.

The Smartest Guys In the Room is a well-written, well-researched to unravel the financial and operational irregularities that led to Enron’s bankruptcy. It’s a compelling (and sometimes soapy) indictment of the worst side of business. Must read for all audit professionals

After reading this book, one can safely conclude that " the world will belive what you say, if you say with confidence and throw money to the audience".Makes a mokery of the all possible governance watch dogs, internal and external to an organization.One must, although, admit the sheer brillance of these guys to pull this off, for so long.A must early read, for all, to understand the suicidal practices of abusing the system.

A good read. But difficult subject to follow. They have tried to make it understandable to the lay reader. I am not sure they have succeeded 100 %.

A fantastic read. Would strongly recommend for all those people who wanting to start a business on creative ideas. this book tells how a business should not be run

People aspect and the greed well captured. Recommend as a read to anyone running a business or believing in the goodness of people!
