Once In Golconda is a Wall Street classic that vividly depics the stock market boom of the twenties, the crash of 1929, the Depression, and the coming of the New Deal. "As Mr. Brooks tells this tale of dishonor, desperation, and the fall of the mighty, it takes on overtones of Greek tragedy, a king brought down by pride. Whitney’s sordid history has been told before. But in Mr. Brooks’s hands, the drama becomes freshly shocking" (Wall Street Journal).
