description: Pressure pace 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.
