Gregory Zuckerman is a Special Writer at The Wall Street Journal and the author of “The Greatest Trade Ever: The Behind-the-Scenes Story of How John Paulson Defied Wall Street and Made Financial History,”a New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-seller published in December 2010 by Crown Business, a division of Random House. The book has been translated in nine languages. His latest book, “The Frackers: The Outrageous Inside Story of the New Billionaire Wildcatters,”centers around the nations's move toward energy independence. The Frackers tells the dramatic tale of how a group of ambitious and headstrong wildcatters ignored the ridicule of experts and derision of colleagues to pursue massive, long-overlooked deposits. Against all odds, they changed the world—and made astonishing fortunes in the process.
