Re: books "The Vandals Crown: How Rebel Currency Traders



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

Bought the book about 4 years ago and have read it twice -both times while
relaxing on a beach somewhere.  Its that type of book.

Its title is a bit misleading; while it does cover the ERM crisis of the
early 1990's, that only makes up a small portion of the book.  Much of the
remainder covers the 'history' that has lead to where we are now (Bretton
Woods, advent of currency futures, new-era derivatives etc etc).

There is also a little covering various trading houses and how they came
into being (Quantum, LTCM, CRT etc) and the colorful characters that adorned
their trading floors (Druckenmiller, Hilibrand, Ritchie Brothers etc).
