RaveThe Los Angeles Review of BooksI needn’t recount each and every meeting or cliff-hanger moment in the ensuing fiscal negotiations. Anyway, Varoufakis himself does a surprisingly entertaining job of telling the story of the next six months of polite confrontation. Usually, books that are this heavily invested in financial minutiae don’t exactly keep you up at night, but Varoufakis’s account has the narrative drive of a rollicking detective novel ... One of the principal virtues of Varoufakis’s book is that it takes us behind those doors and tells us exactly what was said and done there ... Varoufakis’s book is very good, very readable, and ought to be on all the important 'notable books of the year' lists.
