About the Book
Colin Bryce and Adi Imsirovic are both veterans of oil trading. With a deep knowledge of the industry and an expansive network of contacts, they bring to life the history of modern oil trading in rich and colourful detail. The result is a unique book, blending reportage, social and economic history.
The book explores questions including why did London become the epicenter of physical oil trading? Why did Wall St look so different? Why did Singapore become the Asia hub of commodities? What are the origins of the trading houses and how did they come to dominate the sector?
This book should be on the shelf of any commodity professional. Rich in anecdotes, characters and rooted in the heart of world history over the last 50 years, the book is both enjoyable and important.
