Annotation:
After more than 30 years at Goldman Sachs, Henry Paulson reluctantly became George W. Bush's Secretary of the Treasury, a position he held from June 2006 to January 2009.

"[Paulson's] first-person account of the epic financial collapse is just that -- straightforward and direct. Shorn of anonymous, unsourced dish, it nonetheless offers plenty of excellent color and detail. "
