Saving the Sun: How Wall Street Mavericks Shook Up Japan's Financial World and Made Billions by Tett, Gillian. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780060554255.

Saving the Sun tells the story of the worlds largest private equity deal where American investors made billions of dollars rehabilitating Shinsei, a failed Japanese bank. Within that business saga is the dramatic tale of Japans brightest financial minds, the men who made the Japanese economic miracle come to life, and their struggle against the economic failure in the 1990s. Into this climate of despair, where Japan seemed incapable of reviving prosperity, came a group of wily and determined Americans who would discover just how different the Japanese really are.
