In the tradition of Liar's Poker, here is a wildly entertaining account by one of America's high-stakes players--who lost it all when he was indicted for fraud "The first thing everyone wants to know is how I did it. How had I turned my intelligence, nerve, and a bit of fraud, into a business worth hundreds of millions of dollars. And how had I hidden the truth, while enjoying a jet-setting public life for so many years." Bruce McNall became obsessed with coin collecting at the age of 10. At 16, his collection was worth $60,000. During college, he traveled the world buying coins stolen from ancient sites and tombs. McNall's first major sale was to Sy Weintraub, the head of Panavision, who bought $500,000 worth of coins in one sitting. Soon, McNall branched out into horse racing, movie making (The Fabulous Baker Boys), and owning the L.A. Kings hockey team.

Industry Reviews

"Fun While It Lasted is as rare as one of Bruce McNall's ancient coins, and, better yet, it has more than two sides--astonishingly honest and hugely entertaining."
