The battle for the control of RJR Nabisco in the Fall of 1988, which became the biggest and most dramatic corporate takeover in American history, caused upheaval in the international business world and became a symbol of the greed, excess, and ego of the 1980s. Barbarians at the Gate recounts this two-month battle with riveting speed and style, taking us back to the Wall Street empire before the crash, through the boardroom doors, in the nighttime meetings, the betrayals, the dealmakers, and the publicists, into a world where - as Nabisco's CEO Ross Johnson said - 'a few million dollars get lost in the sands of time.' Decades later, the world is once again recovering from a period of economic excess and irresponsibility. This revised edition brings the ultimate business thriller updated for a new generation of readers.
