Few cases have attracted global public interest as much as the collapse of Barings Bank in late February 1995.

And perhaps it is the only case in global banking history where a single person managed to inflict a loss of £850 million on the bank where he worked.

The book "A Dangerous Trader" is the personal testimony of the protagonist of this shocking case and explains how and why one person deceived an entire system, convincing everyone that he was making huge profits every day, while in reality, he was losing.

This book is a rare combination of a financial thriller and a realistic description of modern stock market practices, revealing that reality is rarely what we see or think.
