Street Fighters: The Last 72 Hours of Bear Stearns, the Toughest Firm on Wall Street

by Kate Kelly

About this title: The shocking fall of Bear Stearns in March 2008 set off a wave of global financial turmoil that continues to ripple. How could one of the oldest, most resilient firms on Wall Street go so far astray that it had to be sold at a fire sale price? How could the guys who ran Bear so aggressively miscalculate so completely?
In this vivid and dramatic narrative, Kate Kelly takes us inside Bear's walls during its final, frenzied 72 hours as an independent firm. Expanding with fresh detail from her acclaimed front- page series in "The Wall Street Journal," she captures every sight, sound, and ... read more

By Kristie, Roslindale, MA

"Fascinating account of what happened during Bear's final hours. Left a little wanting for a larger context if only because the rest of the crisis is still playing out. I think we're all still looking for a "why" and this book isn't the one to deliver on that question. Still. A quick, good read."

By Oldesq, The United States

"An hour by hour account of March 13, through March 16, 2008 in the conference rooms, phones and Blackberry screens of the people at the helm of the Bear Stearns collapse. Street Fighters is a deliciously gossipy account of the comeuppance of the "toughest firm on Wall Street." Kelly gives the reader the scoop on all the eccentricities and foibles of the investment bank that many believe was brought down by pure hubris-going back as far as its refusal to participate in the 1998 industry-wide bailout of Long-Term Capital Management. Unfortunately, the structure of the book allows Kelly to merely gloss over the investment decisions and business plans that brought Bear to its knees. We learn more about Chairman Jimmy Cayne's devotion to bridge than why Bear Stearns is so short on liquid capital. Kelly does strike the right balance between marveling at the personalities at Bear Stearns and schadenfreude."

By Melissa, Makati, G3, Philippines

"This corporate giant meltdown story, I understand even though I have zero clue as to what exactly Bear Stearns does. I suppose it helped that I imagined Alan Schwartz looked like Bart Bass. I googled the guy. He doesn't. At all. But great book, just the same."
