Synopsis

Praise for Extraordinary Circumstances

"Outstanding! This page-turning account of the WorldCom fiasco reads like a suspense novel. I was on the edge of my seat to the last page.... This book should be required reading for leaders everywhere."
―Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The One Minute Manager

"Cooper's willingness to reveal her innermost thoughts as she dug makes for gripping reading."
―BusinessWeek

―Bloomberg.com

"Readers...will find it easy to identify with both the employees who manipulated the telecommunications giant's financial statements and those who caught them."
―Reuters.com

"After reading the first few paragraphs of this compelling book, readers are motivated to set aside other tasks and continue to read the entire book....a compelling present-tense narrative that would actually make a good work of fiction...One of the biggest advantages of this storytelling style is that the action keeps moving ...."
―ScienceDirect, The International Journal of Accounting

"Extraordinary Circumstances is a terrific read....I highly recommend it."
