Following his New York Times bestseller, Bringing Down the House, Mezrich tells another extraordinary true story of money, risk and life lived close to the edge.

In the '90's dozens of elite young American graduates made millions in hedge funds in the far East, beating the Japanese at their own game, riding the crashing waves of the Asian markets and winning. Failure meant not only bankruptcy and disgrace a la Nick Leeson, but potentially even death - at the hands of the Japanese YakuzaUgly Americans tells Malcolm's story, and that of others like him, in a cross between Mezrich's own Bringing Down the House and Michael Lewis' Liar's Poker.
