Book Reviews of Traders, Guns & Money: Knowns and unknowns in the dazzling world of derivatives

Book Review: A Must Read
Summary: 5 Stars

If you work in Derivatives, you should read this book. It is quite entertaining. You don't have to agree in public with everything the author puts forth, but there is insight to be gleaned especially for junior people. It is important to hear both sides of a debate, however disenchanted one party becomes. This book is a lively one-way exit interview for a derivatives professional who sugarcoats nothing.
