“Too Big To Fail is too good to put down. . . . It is the story of the actors in the most abnormal financial spectacle in 80 years, and it is told brilliantly.” —The Economist 

“Vigorously reported, superbly organized . . . For those of us who didn’t pursue MBAs—and have the penny-ante salaries to prove it—Sorkin’s book offers a clear, cogent explanation of what happened and why it matters.” —Julia Keller, Chicago Tribune

“Sorkin’s prodigious reporting and lively writing put the reader in the room for one of the biggest-dollar conference calls in history. It’s an entertaining, brisk book.” —Paul M. Barrett, The New York Times Book Review 

“Sorkin’s densely detailed and astonishing narrative of the epic financial crisis of 2008 is an abnormal achievement in order to be hard to surpass as the definitive account.” —John Gapper, Financial Times 

A brilliantly reported true-life thriller that goes at the back of the scenes of the financial crisis on Wall Street and in Washington, the basis for the HBO film 

In one of the gripping financial narratives in decades, Andrew Ross Sorkin-a New York Times columnist and probably the most country’s most respected financial reporters-delivers the first definitive blow- by-blow account of the epochal economic crisis that brought the world to the brink. Through unprecedented access to the players involved, he re-creates all of the drama and turmoil of these turbulent days, revealing never-before-disclosed details and recounting how, motivated as frequently by ego and greed as by fear and self-preservation, the most powerful women and men in finance and politics determined the fate of the world’s economy.
