Feeling the pinch of the credit crunch? So were Northern Rock, and foolishly, they chose to deal with it by hoarding funds, with disastrous repercussions. Alex Brummer's thorough and engagingly written account blows the whistle on the scandal of the troubled British bank.
This is the book Northern Rock didn't want you to read and Brummer's tight, journalistic style makes this an expose you can't afford to miss.
