PRAISE:
"Greg Zuckerman's book is much, much more than a brilliant account of Paulson's trade of the century; it also provides a highly enjoyable and lucid journey through the analytical and emotional maze that constituted the financial markets on the eve of the Great Recession. The book is compulsory reading for those looking for exceptional insights on the complex forces that interconnect Wall Street, hedge funds, and Main Street ."
-Mohamed El-Erian, CEO of Pacific Investment Management Company and bestselling author of When Markets Collide: Investment Strategies for the Age of Global Economic Change
"Gregory Zuckerman takes us to Wall Street's heart of darkness, where mushroomed a $1 trillion subprime mortgage market that only the few, the brave, the smart dared short. The story of John Paulson and the few colorful contrarians who made outsized bets and outrageous profits on the subprime implosion is at once a great page-turner and a great illuminator of the market's crash."
-John Helyar, coauthor of Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco
"Greg Zuckerman was the first to tell the world about John Paulson's sensational trade...He's written the definitive account of a strange and wonderful subplot of the financial crisis."
-Michael Lewis, bestselling author of Moneyball and Home Game
"I couldn't put it down. All I can say is, WOW! What a story! Incredibly illuminating."
-Whitney Tilson, hedge fund manager and author of More Mortgage Meltdown: 6 Ways to Profit in These Bad Times
"...Zuckerman has a story to tell, a thread to follow, and it just happens to turn out that by following the saga of John Paulson, Zuckerman reveals all kinds of fascinating perspectives on complex finance, the real estate bubble and Wall Street and Washington 's difficulties in putting the two together."
