Not a Myth of Hindsight
'Not a Myth of Hindsight' is a painstakingly assembled and documented chronicle of events at Lloyd's insurance and reinsurance market. It reaches back to the late 1800's, and leads up to and through the billions of dollars in losses inflicted on investors (known as "Names") in Lloyd's of London syndicates in the late 1980's and early 90's. Their losses were due, among other things, to asbestos-related claims against policies written as far back as before World War II. The chronicle continues through the development of Lloyd's "reconstruction and renewal" plan, and the formation of "Equitas" as the so-called "reinsurance" solution to Lloyd's problems in 1996, and ends at January 1998. Compiled over many years in England by a handful of retired Lloyd's market insiders, it is a research tool of incalculable value to anyone seeking the truth about Lloyd's. Due to its sheer size (15.5 MB total) "Not a Myth" is subdivided into yearly HTML sections for easier opening and perusal on-site, and zipped Archives for faster downloading.
