The Longest Year in Banking – A Short History of Failed Banks

Where and when was the first draft of this book stolen from Tevfik Altınok's car?
Was the stolen copy ever found?
Why didn't Zekeriya Temizel hand over the other copy?
Where did he first hear about the concept of deposit insurance, and how were the foundations of the SDIF laid?
How did he convince Vehbi Koç to establish Koçbank?
What was the "carpet issue" between him and Erol Aksoy?
How did he break the stubbornness of IMF Delegation head Cotarelli and his team?
What accusations did Tevfik Altınok and the joint board of directors face in court for years?
How did the 17 banks that went down in history collapse? How much of the damage was due to embezzlement?
Why were headlines like "Emperor of Failed Banks," "I won't pay this unscrupulous interest," and "Altınok funded well" published?

Tevfik Altınok, who managed the Turkish treasury for years and led the country out of the banker crisis in the early 1980s, also played a leading role in the failed banks crisis.
When he accepted the chairmanship of the joint board of directors of the banks in the Fund to overcome the country's economic difficulties, he promised to complete this task in one year and resolve the issue by merging or selling these banks within that period.
He completed the task after a year of working day and night, weekends, and holidays.
This book is the short story of that long year...
