A masterpiece of investigative journalism and arguably the best business narrative ever written, BARBARIANS AT THE GATE returns in hardcover in this commemorative edition, marking the twentieth anniversary of the epic Wall Street deal the book recounts and bringing the story up-to-date with a new 15,000 word by the authors.
Klappentext:
Over six months on the New York Times bestseller list, on the bookshelf of every Wall Street worker, and with over 500,000 copies sold, BARBARIANS AT THE GATE is the definitive account of the largest takeover in Wall Street history. Bryan Burrough and John Helyars gripping record 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 "fly on the wall" look at how financial operations at the highest levels are conducted but also a richtly textured social history of wealth at the twilight of the Reagan era. As compelling as a novel, BARBARIANS AT THE GATE is a modern-day classic and a book written with a journalistic bravado that has never been matched. For this new edition, the authors, Bryan Burrough and John Helyar, have written a substantial afterword that brings the story to the present day, tracing whats become of the books characters and companies and reflecting on how the events this book recounts continue to reverberate not only on Wall Street but throughout our culture at large.
