"[The Hellhound of Wall Street] is a lucid account of period banking and stock-market swindles and a crackerjack legal drama, as Pecora's cunning, relentless questioning demolished the bankers' evasions... PERINO'S BOOK is a TRENCHANT ENTERTAINING STUDY of the New Deal's heroic beginnings, one with obvious relevance to latter-day efforts to rein in Wall Street's excesses."
