Title: Moderately interesting
Review: While I would not go as far in criticising this book as one previous reviewer, I do question why the author wrote the book. It does provide a useful summary of the basics. But that is exactly the danger, it only describes the basics and does not indicate how you go beyond the basics. The problem is that risk management is too important and too complicated to be left to beginners. The danger is that someone could read this book and be left with the impression that they understood risk management. There is so much more that is not covered here and very little guidance on how to find it. I am sure that beginners will love this book, it makes it all seem so easy. The only problem is that it is not all so easy and many topics skimmed over in this book e.g. operational risk need much more attention than this book provides.
