Review: "This is the story of two Wall Street Journal beat reporters - one covering the energy industry just after the chaotic California electricity crisis; the other chasing stock swindlers. Together these journalists were ideally placed to uncover one of the great cons of the century. Here is a story about the fall of a great company, and the practice of journalism, marked by skill, luck, and determination." "24 Days is the gripping, untold chronicle of the investigative process - often haphazard but imbued with insight and commitment - that broke through Enron's stonewalling and exposed its inner workings, setting in motion a chain of events that shook the public's trust in big business, Wall Street, and the accounting profession."--BOOK JACKET.
