Young, brash, sporting a shiny new MBA, and obscenely overpaid, Brian Cruver epitomized the Enron employee when he first entered the company's Houston office; and from day one he found himself a cog in the wheel of a venal greed machine. For the next nine months, he would witness firsthand the now-infamous corporate tragedy that he relates in these ruthlessly honest, often hilarious, and frequently disturbing pages. Here are the accounting tricks, insider stock trades, grossly lucrative fraudulent partnerships, and death dance to bankruptcy. Equally revealing, though, are Cruver's descriptions of everyday life at Enron: the cocky wheeling and dealing, intraoffice relationships, casual conversations at the shredder, and the insidious group-think that committed Enronians to the propaganda of flawed executives like Ken Lay, Jeffrey Skilling, and Andy Fastow. Out of their wreckage, Cruver has fashioned an arresting and cautionary morality tale for our time. Anatomy of Greed was the basis for the CBS-TV movie The Crooked E: a behind-the-scenes chronicle of the last days in the strange life of one of the world's richest, riskiest, and most corrupt corporations. Eight pages of telling photographs are included.

About the Author:
Advance Praise for ANATOMY OF GREED:
The Unshredded Truth from an Enron Insider
"The Enron managers depicted in ANATOMY OF GREED should have added Brian Cruver’s files and notes to their mountain of shredded documents when they had the chance. Now, Enron prosecutors will have this revealing and compelling book on their shelves until the last jury verdict is delivered. They’d be wise to call Cruver as a witness."—Frank Partnoy, author of F.I.A.S.C.O.: BLOOD IN THE WATER ON WALL STREET, Professor of Law at the University of San Diego
Brian Cruver was a senior manager at Enron until the collapse, was among the 4,500 workers laid off on December 3, 2001—the day after Enron filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. He lives in Houston.
