Book • 1999
The Go-Go Years is a harrowing and humorous account of the growth stocks of the 1960s and their meteoric rise, followed by the devastating market crashes of the 1970s.

The book includes stories of high-profile personalities such as H. Ross Perot, who lost $450 million in one day, Saul Steinberg's attempt to take over Chemical Bank, and the fall of America's 'Last Gatsby,' Eddie Gilbert.

Brooks blends humor and astute analysis to provide a vivid description of the financial landscape of the time, making it a classic of business history.
