Associated with names both famous and infamous-including former President Jimmy Carter, Indira Gandhi, the CIA, Manuel Noriega, Al Fatah terrorist Abu Nidal, former Secretary of State Clark Clifford, and the royal families of the Middle East-BCCI powered the flow of hot and hidden money around the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn A FULL SERVICE BANK, veteran journalists James Ring Adams and Douglas Frantz uncover BCCI's outlaw schemes and its increasingly precarious financial status. Here, also, is the dramatic inside story of the U.S. Customs agents who led the daring undercover operation that resulted in the first indictments against the renegade bank. Drawing on unpublished internal memos, the frightening and fascinating minutes of BCCI's executive meetings, and extensive interviews, the authors have created an unparalleled, first-class account of the world's biggest banking fraud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDescrip\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"EXTREMELY READABLE....FEW NOVELS COULD MATCH (IT).\" -The Wall Street Journal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"A FULL SERVICE BANK (IS) A WORK WITH THE FLAIR AND FLAVOR OF A FAST-PACED THRILLER, WITH THE ADDED SPICE OF BEING TRUE....THIS IS A GREAT BOOK....TO READ IT IS A PAINLESS INTRO INTO THE WORLD BANKING SYSTEM.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clapping Pages","offers":[{"title":"Used","offer_id":45229288489146,"sku":"323IWIHHD-Used","price":79.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/5576\/0826\/files\/1_cd9e447b-9c33-44ea-ac66-33bf00695af0.jpg?v=1760375211","url":"https:\/\/clappingpages.com\/products\/a-full-service-bank-rare-books","provider":"Clapping Pages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
