The Gang of Thieves on Wall Street

The book is about the machinations and deceit hidden behind the daily actions of the guys on Wall Street, whether all of this is punishable by law, and what conclusion one should draw from everything heard. Pulitzer Prize winner James B. Stewart was the first to show that the nobility and respectability of Wall Street are merely the tip of the iceberg, beneath which lies a world of corruption and criminal conspiracies, where price manipulation thrives and illegal use of insider information occurs.

The genre of James Stewart's book is hard to define. On one hand, it is a journalistic investigation: the book is based exclusively on real events, documents, and trading information, and on the other hand — a thriller, where the description of human nature, big business, and large-scale speculation is filled with unprecedented drama.
