Ugly Americans丑陋的美国人

John Malcolm first went to Japan to play football. He returned to ride the crest of the wave of financial raiding, trading and speculating that earned Nick Leeson a spell in gaol and Malcolm his reputation as an ultimate gunslinger in the Wild East, prepared to take on any level of risk in making mind-boggling sums of money. $7 million in his first month, just for starters. He and his friends were hedge-fund cowboys,living life on the adrenalin-, sex- and drugs-fuelled edge - kids running billion-dollar portfolios, trading information in the back rooms of high-class 'soap houses' (brothels) and at VIP tables in nightclubs across the Far East. A tale of extremes and excess - from Harvard to Tokyo, Singapore,Hong Kong and Hawaii - a riveting real-life thriller that exposes thestory of the Ugly Americans in the Wild East during the last decade of the twentieth century.
