Cheshire County Democrats Book Club

We had an excellent discussion about Afghanistan tonight ( The Punishment of Virtue: Inside Afghanistan After the Taliban by Sarah Chayes) and then rushed home to watch the President's speech. If you haven't read this book, we highly recommend it. It's a fascinating look at Afghanistan.



For January, we will be reading Too Big to Fail: The Inside Story of How Wall Street and Washington Fought to Save the Financial System---and Themselves, by Andrew Ross Sorkin. We will meet on Tuesday night, January 12, 6:30 PM in the Foodcourt at Colony Mill Marketplace. I hope you can join us.



We are always looking for good books to read, so if you have a recommendation, please let me know.



Linda Cates



Reviews of Too Big To Fail

"Andrew Ross Sorkin pens what may be the definitive history of the banking crisis."

-The Atlantic Monthly



"Andrew Ross Sorkin has written a fascinating, scene-by-scene saga of the eyeless trying to march the clueless through Great Depression II."

-Tom Wolfe



"...Sorkin has succeeded in writing the book of the crisis, with amazing levels of detail and access."

-Reuters

Product Description

A real-life thriller about the most tumultuous period in America’s financial history by an acclaimed New York Times Reporter



Andrew Ross Sorkin delivers the first true behind-the-scenes, moment-by-moment account of how the greatest financial crisis since the Great Depression developed into a global tsunami. From inside the corner office at Lehman Brothers to secret meetings in South Korea, and the corridors of Washington, Too Big to Fail is the definitive story of the most powerful men and women in finance and politics grappling with success and failure, ego and greed, and, ultimately, the fate of the world’s economy.



“We’ve got to get some foam down on the runway!” a sleepless Timothy Geithner, the then-president of the Federal Reserve of New York, would tell Henry M. Paulson, the Treasury secretary, about the catastrophic crash the world’s financial system would experience.



Through unprecedented access to the players involved, Too Big to Fail re-creates all the drama and turmoil, revealing never disclosed details and elucidating how decisions made on Wall Street over the past decade sowed the seeds of the debacle. This true story is not just a look at banks that were “too big to fail,” it is a real-life thriller with a cast of bold-faced names who themselves thought they were too big to fail.
