Overview of Too Big to Fail

When Wall Street teetered on collapse, Sorkin's masterful thriller captured the 2008 financial crisis with unprecedented insider access. Tom Wolfe called it "the book of the crisis" - a narrative so gripping it makes "Liar's Poker look like a children's book."

When Wall Street Trembled: The Brink of Financial Apocalypse

"You are about to experience the most unbelievable week in America ever," Jamie Dimon warned his JP Morgan Chase team one autumn morning in 2008. Within days, century-old institutions would vanish, the government would seize control of the world's largest insurance company, and the entire financial system would teeter on collapse. This wasn't just another market correction-it was financial Armageddon. The interconnected house of cards built over decades through deregulation, excessive leverage, and financial innovation had finally begun to collapse, threatening not just Wall Street bonuses but the entire global economy. What began as a subprime mortgage crisis had metastasized into something far more dangerous, exposing how thoroughly intertwined our financial institutions had become. When one domino fell, it threatened to take down the entire system.
