內容簡介: |
Pressure, pace, error: ROGUE TRADER grippingly tells the
inside story of how the greatest gamble ever made rocked the City
of London to its foundations. Crackling with tension, in a
narrative as crisp as any thriller, Nick Leeson''s autobiographical
account reveals how he ''lost'' £800 millions as General Manager of
Baring Futures Singapore through foolhardy speculations on behalf
of his employer, Barings Brothers - the world''s first merchant
bank. As Leeson''s audacity escalated, so did his losses while
London continued to pour money down the drain. ROGUE TRADER is a
dazzlingly revealing story of a man shaped by events that proved
beyond his control.
