It's about Bill Ackman's campaign against AAA rated MBIA
https://www.amazon.com/Confidence-Game-Manager-Ackman-Streets/dp/1118010418
Pretty expensive, so I'd recommend any older edition. But this is the same textbook I used in my Derivatives course, it's basically an industry standard.

Basically, a computer can't call up a farmer and feel him out for how his crop is doing and see how motivated he is to sell. There are plenty of quant traders in the markets too, but they're subservient to fundamentals most of the time, and the people that know fundamentals are people with rolodexes.
Risk and Asset Allocation by Meucci goes into a decent amount of detail. I haven’t tackled the whole thing yet, as my math background isn’t quite as developed as I’d like, but you could give it a look.
