- Summary
- "Gordon L. Weil, who saw the threat of doing business with Enron and broke off his dealings with that company 18 months before its fall, tells for the first time the complete story of how Enron swindled California customers while federal regulators stood by and refused to heed state appeals. He also describes the blackout of 2003 and explains how it could have been avoided if only a few trees had been trimmed."--BOOK JACKET.
