Book Description

February 2000
In November 1998, Barclays chief executive Martin Taylor walked out of his job. Widely regarded as one of Britain's cleverest businessmen, Taylor had reached the end of his tether after a series of trading disasters and boardroom clashes. In this account, Martin Vander Weyer traces the decline of what was once Britain's leading bank, and uncovers a story rich in personality, intrigue and social nuance.
