JOHN BROOKS - GEBRAUCHT BUSINESS ADVENTURES TWE...

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.  Stories
about Wall Street are infused with drama and adventure and reveal the machinations and volatile
nature of the world of finance. John Brooks's insightful reportage is so full of personality
and critical detail that whether he is looking at the astounding market crash of 1962  the
collapse of a well-known brokerage firm  or the bold attempt by American bankers to save the
British pound  one gets the sense that history really does repeat itself.  This business
classic written by longtime New Yorker contributor John Brooks is an insightful and engaging
look into corporate and financial life in America.
