by Kurt Eichenwald (Author)
A real-life thriller--the story of kickbacks and payoffs, of shady deals struck in secret with known felons; a story in which half a million people lose enormous sums--some their life's savings--in the largest securities fraud of the 1980s, with names like Onassis and Bush numbered among the victims.
