Trevor Sykes’ The Bold Riders lifts the lid on Australia’s most spectacular corporate collapses, tracing the greed, politics and boardroom bravado that shuttered giants in the 1980s and 1990s. This 672-page paperback blends investigative journalism with sharp economic analysis, making it a gripping read for finance buffs, business students and true-crime fans alike.
First published by Allen & Unwin in 1996, the book has become a go-to reference for anyone studying Australian economic policy or corporate governance. Sykes’ witty, plain-English style turns complex financial failures into page-turning cautionary tales.
