Kate Kelly
The acclaimed New York Times bestseller-an explosive, inside look at the demise of a Wall Street giant
The fall of Bear Stearns in March 2008 set off a wave of global financial turmoil that rippled around the world.How could one of the oldest, most resilient firms on Wall Street go so far astray that it had to be sold at a fire sale price? How could the street fighters who ran Bear so aggressively miscalculate so completely?
Expanding with fresh detail from her highly praised front-page series in The Wall Street Journal, reporter Kate Kelly captures every sight, sound, and smell of Bear’s three final days. She also shows how Bear’s top executives descended into civil war as the mortgage crisis began to brew. A breathtaking piece of US history, Street Fighters is essential reading for anyone looking to understand the 2008 financial crisis-and for understanding how the actions of one Wall Street firm have affected the world to this day.
