It follows Enron's journey from obscurity to the top of the business world and its subsequent disastrous demise. The authors, Bethany McLean and Peter Elkind, draw on unique sources to reveal the roles of key figures such as Ken Lay, Jeff Skilling, and Andy Fastow. The book is a story of human weakness, hubris, and greed, and it serves as a microcosm of the flaws in American business.
