Description

The battle for the control of RJR Nabisco in the autumn of 1988, which became the largest and most dramatic corporate takeover in American history, sent shock waves through the international business world and became a symbol of the greed, excess, and egotism of the eighties. Barbarians at the Gate recounts this two-month battle with breathtaking pace and flair, and transports readers back to the Wall Street empire before it crumbled, through the boardroom doors, into midnight meetings, the betrayals, the deal makers, and publicity flaks, into a world where, as Nabisco CEO Ross Johnson put it, "a few million dollars are lost in the sands of time." Twenty years on, the world is once again recovering from a period of financial extravagance and irresponsibility. This revised edition brings the ultimate business thriller up to date for a new generation of readers.
