From Library Journal
The 1990s have been the most turbulent years in the history of international finance. A war is going on, says Millman, a "secret revolution" of the currency markets that is akin to the discovery of nuclear power. The invention of currency options and derivatives has allowed currency traders to conquer world markets "like the vandals who conquered Rome's empire." Millman, who has written for Forbes and Barron's, endeavors to explain complex concepts in plain language. First he surveys the long struggle between governments and private markets to control money. Then he explains how corporations trade currencies and the risks involved. He also tells dozens of colorful anecdotes that illustrate his points more vividly than a textbook ever could. This is a history lesson, a finance class, and an entertaining read rolled up in one. Recommended for business collections.?Kris Swank, American Graduate Sch. of Internat. Management Lib., Glendale, Ariz.

Millman is a writer who has covered the financial markets for eight years for such publications as Forbes, Barron's, and Institutional Investor. His interest here is in two new investment tools that have created convulsions in the worldwide financial community: foreign exchange currency trades and derivatives. B
