John Brooks (1920-1993) was an award-winning writer best known for his contributions to the New Yorker as a financial journalist. He was also the author of ten nonfiction books on business and finance, a number of which were critically acclaimed works examining Wall Street and the corporate world. His books Once in Golconda, The Go-Go Years, and Business Adventures have endured as classics. Although he is remembered primarily for his writings on financial topics, Brooks published three novels and wrote book reviews for Harper's Magazine and the New York Times Book Review.

David Cary
5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Writing Style
Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2020
Mr. Brooks has a very good dry humor which I enjoyed and his knowledge of the times is penetrating. In this book you will find the first prosecution for insider trading and that is interesting. However, most of the book is about those times, such as the Bretton Woods exchange. All important history but that is what this book is.
