Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco ANNOTATION
The #1 bestseller that captured the savage fight for control of RJR Nabisco, the largest takeover in Wall Street history.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Barbarians at the Gate has been called one of the most influential business books of all time - the definitive account of the largest takeover in Wall Street history. Bryan Burrough and John Helyar's account of the frenzy that overtook Wall Street in October and November of 1988 is the story of deal makers and publicity flaks, of strategy meetings and society dinners, of boardrooms and bedrooms - giving us not only a detailed look at how financial operations at the highest levels are conducted but also a richly textured social history of wealth at the twilight of the Reagan era.

A superlative book...steadily builds suspense until the very end.
