When Genius Failed : The Rise and Fall of Long-Term Capital Management
by Roger Lowenstein (paperback)
This is a superb telling of the crash of Long-Term Capital Management and the fallout that ensued. This book is very readable, and actually reads like a novel.

The book really details the stunning failure of the financial models that LTCM developed to trade the markets.

However, if you want to read a story that details the fallibility of people and computers, pick up a copy of this book.
