"One of the finest, most compelling accounts of what happened to
corporate America and Wall Street in the 1980's."
--New York Times Book Review
A #1 New York Times bestseller and arguably the best business
narrative ever written, Barbarians at the Gate is the classic account
of the fall of RJR Nabisco. An enduring masterpiece of investigative
journalism by Bryan Burrough and John Helyar, it includes a new
afterword by the authors that brings this remarkable story of greed and
double-dealings up to date twenty years after the famed deal. The Los
Angeles Times calls Barbarians at the Gate, "Superlative." The
Chicago Tribune raves, "It's hard to imagine a better story...and it's
hard to imagine a better account." And in an era of spectacular business
crashes and federal bailouts, it still stands as a valuable cautionary
tale that must be heeded.
