Fatal Risk
It starts a bit slow. The way it introduces the creation of the FP unit at AIG was bit confusing. I was expecting a similar level of research as in "Too Big to Fail", but it doesn't have it. However it does shed some good insight as how AIG was managed and why it destroyed itself along with a good part of the financial market and the US economy.
