520 1 _a"In King of the Club, acclaimed reporter Charles Gasparino takes us inside the marble-cloaked temple of finance that is the New York Stock Exchange - known to insiders as "The Club" - and reveals never-before-told-details of the rise and fall of Richard Grasso, the most powerful CEO in the Exchange's 215-year history. Gasparino shows us: Grasso's desperate race to restart the nation's financial system after 9/11 - and how the industry's backstabbing and race to make a buck didn't stop...even then; the rise and fall of a remarkable Italian kid from the outer boroughs, who fought his way to the top of one of the country's most conservative and clubby institutions; and a behind the scenes look at the struggle for control over the most central organization."--BOOK JACKET.
