24 Days by John R. Emshwiller, Rebecca Smith (2004, Paperback, Reprint)

Written in a gripping, fast-paced narrative style, 24 Days is a riveting reporter's eye view of the investigative process -- often unpredictable, but driven by the journalists' commitment to the facts and the true story. Smith and Emshwiller 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.

Updated here with a new prologue and a new chapter by Smith and Emshwiller, 24 Days defines an era and brings great investigative journalism to vivid life as it tells the riveting story of the colossal collapse of what has become the world's most notorious corporation.
