How he approached the negotiating table with russian leaders. Off coarse the insight to the missle crisis and much, much more.

    You would have to live under a rock not to know who Alan Greenspan is. But that's probably about as much as you know. Leave it to investigative reporter Bob Woodward to uncover the story of Greenspan and the power he wields as head of the Federal Reserve.

    With integrity and authority, former SEC chair Arthur Levitt gives us a bracing primer on the collapse of the system that oversees our capital markets, and essential advice on a discipline we often ignore to our peril - how not to lose money. At once anecdotal (names are named), informative, and prescriptive, Take on the Street "should be mandatory for anyone with a dollar invested in the stock market," says Publishers Weekly.
