From the DJ: "Using previously untapped memoirs, contemporary documents, private papers, as well as interviews with survivors of the event, the authors capture the feeling of the era, the intoxicating expectancy, the hope that ruled men's hearts and minds (and their investments) before the bubble burst, and the black dispair that was its aftermath. This is a book about investors whose optimism gave way to unease, to panic, to abject terror...." The authors' previous books all were about catastrophes of one sort or another.
