"No book more thoroughly deserves to be within reference reach of every fund manager, financial adviser and stockbroker. With details given of major corporate and financial events since 1945, and each year since 1966 forming a separate chapter, this is an outstanding instant refresher of what moved markets...This landmark book defines an era. And this account has a wider appeal - for students of markets, policy makers and anyone taking a serious interest in equity investment, this is a deeply cautionary tale as well as a definitive work of reference."- Bill Jamieson, The Scotsman19th July 2010
