This book details the 2 scams that shocked the Indian stock market. The book is filled with a lot of financial and stock market jargon that some of the people may not be familiar with because it is quite ancient. You may need to Google some terms to get a clear understanding.
The events/chapters are not chronologically ordered, and are explained from a particular perspective/entity/incident involved. The Scam 1992 web series only highlights about 20% of the scam that took place. This book goes into a lot of detail about each pillar of the scam.
However, the Ketan Parekh scam is not explained in as much detail as the Harshad Mehta one. I also thought the book needed some way to refine the content/information from a reader's perspective.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know the details behind both scams and how they unfolded.
