A fascinating life lived in many parts of the globe. What it was like to live and work in a dozen different countries around the world. A book full of interesting and amusing anecdotes which will appeal to bankers of all ages.
Calum Johnston commenced his banking career in Scotland, at the age of seventeen, at a time when the duties of a ‘boy’ in the bank included sweeping the floor and mixing the powder to make ink for the counter ink wells. In this volume he recounts banking practices long since forgotten. Remarkably, the author became a bank manager in the Gold Coast at the age of twenty-one. After moving to Nigeria he experienced the Biafra civil war during which he was arrested at gun point and interrogated more than once, having previously evacuated his family and other bank wives and children to the safety of Lagos. 



After joining a Canadian bank, the author worked on Wall Street, established the bank’s first office in Hong Kong, managed branches in Malaysia and Jamaica and was responsible for lending throughout the Caribbean and Canada. For eleven years he was responsible for his bank’s operations in over forty countries. After retiring Johnston was appointed President and CEO of a bank in Bermuda where he and his team produced outstanding results. He finished his working life in St. Maarten in the Caribbean

Calum Johnston is a retired bank executive who was responsible for banking operations across the planet. Among the experiences he writes about are a civil war in Biafra and a three week tour of China in 1974 as well as vignettes of life and work in a variety of countries.
