TAKE ON THE STREET What Wall Street and Corporate America Don't Want You to Know & What You Can Do to Fight Back

A former SEC chairman and advisor to a long list of luminaries, the author is the ultimate insider--someone near the epicenter of everything important that's happened in the markets over the past 10 years. It's a tell-all that minces no words in outing some very recognizable corporate and government scoundrels. Levitt's atti-tude about these matters--deliberate but void of righteousness--makes this a revealing exposé that captivates start to finish. A deftly written cautionary tale, it is nevertheless hopeful, rather than being a gloom manual or paranoid diatribe. This is a brave piece of writing, realistically read by an author with just enough emotional distance to boost his already substantial authority in these matters. T.W.
