\"\"<\/td>\nDescription<\/strong> 
\nA year ago it would have been difficult to conceive of an anthology of stories soley devoted to corporate malfeasance. Today, the challenge has been to keep it confined to one volume. From P.J. O\u2019Rourke\u2019s hilarious \u201cHow To Stuff A Wild Enron,\u201d in which he compares trying to understand Enron\u2019s finances to trying to buy an airline ticket at the best price, to Marc Peyser\u2019s\u2019s perceptive look at that American institution, Martha Stewart, to Joe Nocera\u2019s investigation of how it all went wrong, the stories here are sometimes infuriating, often entertaining, and invariably informative. Best Business Crime Writing Of The Year is a report from the front lines of the war zone that has become American business today by some of our most talented and perceptive writers.
