Review: Unless you want a deep dive into RM for banks and hedging currency risk, this book is not for you. - This book is almost solely geared toward towards quant finance and banking. It is also very academic. I'm sure the book is fine, but in reading the description it gave the impression that "essentials" was geared toward a practical understanding and outline of RM practices and procedures and this book is not that at all. Review: The Breadth and Depth of The Essentials of Risk Management. - It is tough to store the value of a subject under one cover. Undoubtedly, The Essentials of Risk Management is the closest you can get to covering all the fundamental aspects of Risk Management in a single book.
