There are a raft of Enron books out currently. I’ve read two, Pipe Dreams: Greed, Ego, and the Death of Enron, by Robert Bryce and Molly Ivins; and Power Failure: The Inside Story of the Collapse of Enron, by Mimi Swartz and Sherron Watkins. Though I think they are both good, Pipe Dreams seemed to contain a lot more detail. I’m not entirely sure how that is, given that they both cover more-or-less the same events and are approximately the same length, but that is how I remember it. If you only have time for one and like stories of bone-headed management decisions, I’d say of the two Pipe Dreams is your better option. There are at least three other Enron books I haven’t read, though, so who knows. Enron is starting to fill serious shelf space in the library.
