Reviews for Confidence Men: Wall Street, Washington, and the Education of a President
"Savvy and informative... The most ambitious treatment of this period yet... Suskind's book often reads like Halberstam's The Best and the Brightest. But the quagmire isn't a neo-Vietnam like Afghanistan
it's the economy."
Frank Rich, New York "A searing new book... Suskind has a flair for taking material he's harvested to create narratives with a novelistic sense of drama."
