  Lloyd's of London, a unique and world-famous institution, is said to be in crisis. Thousands of people around the world have lost money in investments which have gone wrong. There have been breakdowns, suicides and lawsuits both in Britain and America. Lloyds's has experienced the worst run of losses in its 300 year history. For Whom the Bell Tolls attempts to go behind-the-scenes of this club to tell the story of financial scandal and negligence. The book explains how, contrary to its claims that it can regulate itself, Lloyd's has allegedly allowed a climate to exist in which complacency, negligence and possibly even fraud have grown to crisis proportions.
