Book Reviews of The Outlaw Bank: A Wild Ride into the Secret Heart of BCCI
Book Review: Exposed!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an excellent account of how two journalists exposed BCCI and the somewhat "innovative" banking practices. The account is gripping, reads like a thriller and involves arms dealers, shady business men, intelligence services and many other aspects of the business world that the few only have to deal with.
The book is very focussed on the two authors and how their story unravelled. While this story is exciting in its own right, I would have liked a little more space spent on the actual dealings of BCCI, their practices and how they avoided getting caught for so many years. Irrespective hereof, the book is still well worth the effort - even so many years later!
