"I'd say you were a carnival barker, except that wouldn't be fair tocarnival barkers. A carnie will at least tell you up front that he's running a shell game. You, Mr. Lay, were running what purported to be the seventh largest corporation in America."-Senator Peter Fitzgerald (R-IL) to Enron CEO Kenneth Lay, Senate Commerce Science & Transportation's Subcommittee, Hearing on Enron, 2/12/02
The speed of Enron's rise and fall is truly astonishing and perhaps the single most important story of corporate failure in the twenty-first century. In Enron investigative journalist Loren Fox promises readers nothing short of the most compelling and insightful investigation into Enron's meteoric ascent-regarded by Wall Street and the media as the epitome of innovation-and its spectacular fall from grace. In a lively and authoritative manner, Fox discusses how the biggest corporate bankruptcy in American business history happened, why for so long no one (except for an enlightened few) saw it coming, and what its impact will be on financial markets, the U.S. economy, U.S. energy policy, and the public for years to come. With access to many company insiders, Fox's intriguing account of this corporate debacle also provides an overview of the corporate culture and business model that led to Enron's high-flying success and disastrous failure. The story of Enron is one that will reverberate in global financial and energy markets as well as in criminal and civil courts for years to come. Rife with all the elements of a classic thriller-scandal, dishonest accounting, personal greed, questionable campaign contributions, suicide-Enron captures the essence of a company that went too far too fast.

"...offers a candid examination of Enron's evolution, its culture, its rise and its downfall ...a clear and enjoyable read." ( City to Cities , July 2004)
"Mr. Fox is a business writer based in New York who digs into how Andrew S. Fastow, Enron's former chief financial officer, set up special purpose entities that ultimately helped cause the company's downfall...this one offers the most detailed explanation of Enron as a business." (New York Times, October 27, 2002)
" . . . Fox fills the void left by Lay and other Enron top dogs in swift, building-block fashion, producing a ground-up view of why the "Crooked E" colossus rose and fell. A sober and clear-eyed book, it's the more restrained of the two [compared to Pipe Dreams]. But it's not too restrained to pass up the chance to get in some good snarkfests over Enron's outsized egos and swagger-or remind us that its swagger is what most investors bought. . . . . Fox places the unspooling of Enron in its market-history context, and his book has gravitas . . . ." -- Barron's

Fastow, Enron's former chief financial officer, set up special purpose entities that ultimately helped cause the company's downfall. Of the three books [including Pipe Dreams and Anatomy of Greed], this one offers the most detailed explanation of Enron as a business." -- New York Times
"Enron: The Rise and Fall is the latest and perhaps most impressive of the recent crop of books about the collapsed energy giant ... [Fox's] candid, in-depth examination of Enron's remarkable evolution, corporate culture and ultimate downfall is in itself remarkable for being both scrupulously detailed while remaining a clear and enjoyable read, even when dealing with the Byzantine complexities of the company's financial engineering." -- ERisk.com "Book of the Month" review
