The Financial Times journalist’s Jungle Capitalists: a Story of Globalisation, Greed and Revolution (2008) was published by Canongate in the UK and, as Bananas: How the United Fruit Company Shaped the World by Grove in the US. The Observer said this about the book: ‘If you only read a handful of non-fiction books this year, Jungle Capitalists is among your recommended five portions’. His history of Lehman Brothers, The Last of the Imperious Rich, described as ‘thought-provoking and illuminating’ by the New York Times, was published by Penguin/Portfolio in Autumn 2010. Out of Time, a personal history of the England 1966 World Cup victory and ‘an exuberantly brilliant memoir’ (Adrian Chiles) was published by Bloomsbury in 2017.
