What do the $350 million Ford Motor Company disaster known as the Edsel, the fast and incredible rise of Xerox, and the unbelievable scandals at General Electric and Texas Gulf Sulphur have in common? Each is an example of how an iconic company was defined by a particular moment of fame or notoriety; these notable and fascinating accounts are as relevant today to understanding the intricacies of corporate life as they were when the events happened.

I really enjoyed this book. Found this book on Bill Gates' top reads list. John Brooks really makes the financial world interesting, and loved all the perspective he gave. Also pretty entertaining and well-written. It consists of 12 different stories that are each distinct from one another. Johnny Heller's narration is great too. I would recommend this to anyone.
