If you liked Liar's Poker, you will love this. The story of how greed, fraud, arrogance, and incompetence all played a role in the recent creation and crash of the sub-prime markets. At times absolutely maddening and frightening, after reading this book, I am still amazed no one has gone to jail for any of the shenanigans describe.
