Thomas Finke, the Chairman and CEO of Barings, LLC., has extensive experience in banking and investment management. Outside of work, Thomas "Tom" Finke enjoys reading novels written by his favorite author, Jeff Shaara.
Jeff Shaara is most widely known for writing in the historical fiction genre. He began as a professional writer in 1993 during the filming of Gettysburg, a film based on his father’s novel, The Killer Angels. After being approached regarding continuing his father’s legacy, Mr. Shaara wrote both a prequel (The Last Full Measure) and a sequel (Gone for Soldiers) to his father’s book, rounding out the central novel’s narrative. In content, the novels are described as veering away from his father’s approach of focusing on the psychological growth of the characters in the text in that he spends a lot of time focusing on the historical elements in the novel.
