Five Days in White Flannels
Five Days in White Flannels is a quizzical tribute to Test cricket, the holy grail of achievement on the cricket field. It is also a nostalgic journey that venerates the five-day duel between the bat and the ball partaken by men clad in cream clothing on an idyllic cricket ground, and is a far cry from the environs of other forms of cricket that now-a-days deliver instant gratification. This is a comprehensive trivia book that tickles the brain of the reader with numerous fascinating and intriguing factoids of Test cricket. The book takes the reader partly through some narratives, each of which is tagged with a trivial question and then, to add variety, the narratives are interspersed with fair share of regular trivial queries and few cryptic questions. In the pages of this book, you will find out: The name of the cricketer who was referred to as Test crickets village batsman What a Platinum Duck is The name of the cricketer inflicted by Klippel-Feil syndrome What a Water-drip effect in cricket is About the replica of the cricket ground that billionaire Paul Getty built on his estate About the association of Richard Nixon, Robert McNamara & Alexei Kosygin with cricket
The BCCI Affair: A Report to the Committee on Foreign Relations
"The Bank of Credit and Commerce International remains today, 30 years after its founding, a byword for corruption, influence peddling, bribery, crony capitalism, phony audits, money laundering, and worse. It managed to stave off crises with "too big to fail" arguments and friends in high places. Here, in full documentary splendor, we see the genesis of the term "bankster" and the stunning failure of the same roster of government agencies caught napping before the panic of 2008. This December 1992 document is the final draft of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee report. It was released by Congress but co-author Sen. Hank Brown, reportedly acting at the behest of Henry Kissinger, pressed for the deletion of a few passages, particularly re: Kissinger Associates. As a result, the final hardcopy version of the report, as published originally by the Government Printing Office, is less complete than the version you now hold in your hands. Long out of print and available only electronically, this report is here presented in a new edition designed for readability and easy reference." -- Page [4] of cover.
A Conflict of Interest
This book is about exploring the rules of business beyond the 21st century and how these are bent and often broken, with devastating effect by individuals who have altered the traditional profile of fraud and the fraudster forever. It is a compilation of papers, theories and Congressional Testimony—the story behind the stories. This book describes the super ego, corruption at head of state and ministerial level in the governments of over 72 countries. The book speaks of Bank of Credit Commerce and Industry (BCCI), the bank that laundered the funds of Noriega, the Cali and Medellin Cartels and which was linked to international terrorism, prostitution and funding death squads. Most of all it is about the most complicated, sophisticated and devastating financial crimes in modern history. It speaks of Barings Bank and the collapse of one of the world’s oldest and most respected banks at the hands of a small fry crook that realized almost per chance his masters had left him with the keys to both the front and back door. The Enron collapse describes a frenzy of greed and denial. It bears testimony and stands as epitaph to the annihilation of millions of ordinary peoples dreams.
