Publisher Description
'The greatest story of our age ... Be very afraid' John Arlidge, Sunday Times
Michael Lewis's epic bestseller tells the outrageous story of the multi-millionaires and whizz kids who scammed the banking system in the blink of an eye - and the whistleblowers who tried to stop them. It's hilarious, terrifying and it's all true.
'Thrilling, a masterclass' Robert McCrum, Observer, Books of the Year
'Jaw-dropping, astonishing ... Lewis has lit the touch paper' Liam Halligan, Spectator
'The kind of writer who creates his own weather system' John Lanchester, London Review of Books
'I read Michael Lewis for the same reasons I watch Tiger Woods. I'll never play like that. But it's good to be reminded every now and again what genius looks like' Malcolm Gladwell
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In his new book, bestselling author (and former bond broker) Michael Lewis delivers another eye-opening account of the machinations of Wall Street. Following in the footsteps of hit titles like Liar’s Poker and The Big Short, Flash Boys opens up the lid on the way banks, brokerages and other moneymakers operate today, and exposes unsettling truths about the recession and financial crises that have dominated world headlines. Lewis’ concise and energetic writing style makes this book accessible and fascinating, whatever your level of financial know-how.
