Rogue Trader

Rogue Trader by Leeson Nick When Leeson was arrested in
1995 for bringing Barings Bank to its knees it initially
seemed as if he had single-handedly crushed the company.
Indeed it was he alone who found himself in the dark
confines of a Singapore jail from where he wrote Rogue
Trader. Now updated for the twentieth anniversary of the
collapse of Barings this is his story of a broken system;
of a cast of characters blind to anything but profits –
whatever the cost. Leesons tale of boom and bust is an
important reminder of the immense power the banking system
held and worryingly still holds.
