Circle of Greed is the epic story of the rise and fall of Bill Lerach, once the leading class action lawyer in America and now a convicted felon. For more than two decades, Lerach threatened, shook down and sued top Fortune 500 companies, including Disney, Apple, Time Warner, and—most famously—Enron. Now, the man who brought corporate moguls to their knees has fallen prey to the same corrupt impulses of his enemies, and is paying the price by serving time in federal prison. If there was ever a modern Greek tragedy about a man and his times, about corporate arrogance and illusions and the scorched-earth tactics to not only counteract corporate America but to beat it at its own game, Bill Lerach's story is it.

Her eyewitness reports are more than you will ever hear about in school where Spanish teachers are either too pained or too fearful to discuss these issues openly. Objectively and thoroughly reported, the authors make complex subjects understandable and present the tale of a larger-than-life character in a tale that someone will certainly turn into a blockbuster movie.. A gripping page-turner that every reader will enjoy - even people without a background or specific interest in politics or law. The book is a great reading. Lerach has lived a colorful life, and Dillon and Cannon tell a heck of a story.
Second, because Lerach was so prominent in prosecuting class actions, the book provides a concise history of many of the most important cases of fraud in the financial industry over the last several decades, a history that could not be more timely. What an inspiration!. Further I found answe
