Partnoy doesn't take prisoners.' - Euroweek 'Guns, booze and bloodlust: the truth about high finance.' - Sunday Times 'F.I.A.S.C.O. is a ringside seat on the nastiest and most important game being played on Wall Street today. Think of derivatives trading as a blood sport, with the unsuspecting consumer as prey. Read this book, or else...' - Michael Lewis, author of Liar's Poker."
