Getting smarter about banks or, at least, more familiar is what really prevents banking crises. Richard S. Cupp, a nationally-respected bank CEO credited as one of our foremost turnaround experts of troubled community ("Main Street") banks, and Marie W. Woolf offer a riveting corner office memoir detailing his most illuminating and dramatic engagements over a remarkable decades-long career. This sharp, candid look into an unusual banking niche has a very poignant twist from 2013 on. Written for Americans outside of "Too Big To Fail"—Main Street—caught in and at risk of something that should never have happened, and never happen again.
