“Australia’s corporate collapses of the 1980s were the most devastating in the country’s history.  The crashes of the empires of such former heroes as Alan Bond, John Spalvins and Christopher Skase had a massive impact that went far beyond the stock exchanges, shook the entire banking and financial system, and reverberated much further than Australian shores.  How did it all happen?  What did it all mean?  Will if happen again?
The Bold Riders was published in 1994 to an avalanche of critical acclaim.  Trevor Sykes has revised and updated this paperback edition to take account of new developments and further changes to the legacy of the 1980s.”
