Once in Golconda. a True Drama of Wall Street 1920 - 1938.

Marvelous fun to read, often incredible, always authoritative, this is John Brooks at this best--a narrative of extravagant events and extraordinary men. It begins with the famous 1920 bomb explosion outside the Morgan bank. And it ends with an explosion that had far more lasting impact--the conviction for embezzlement of Richard Whitney, last champion of the Old Guard of American finance.
