The Smartest Guys in the Room: the amazing rise and scandalous fall of Enron was the defining book on the Enron scandal. Written by Fortune Magazine journalists Bethany McLean and Peter Elkind, the book captured all the events that led up to the demise of the energy trading giant.

First published in 2003, the authors ended their narrative with Enron's filing of the largest bankruptcy case in US history at the time, which happened on December 3, 2001 - a decade ago this month.
