Barbarians at the Gate: The Inside Story of America’s Most Notorious Corporate Takeover

<p>The fight to control RJR Nabisco during October and November of 1988 was more than just the largest takeover in Wall Street history.

The ultimate story of greed and glory, <i>Barbarians at the Gate</i> is the gripping account of these two frenzied months, of deal makers and publicity flaks, of an old-line industrial powerhouse that became the victim of the ruthless and rapacious style of finance in the 1980s. Written with the bravado of a novel and researched with the diligence of a sweeping cultural history, here is the unforgettable story of the takeover in all its brutality.</p>
