Burrough (special correspondent, Vanity Fair) and Helyar (columnist, Bloomberg News) recount the frenzied two months, October and November 1988, during which RJR Nabisco (producer of Oreos and Camels) fell victim to the ruthless cutthroat style of American finance in the 1980s. The authors, reporters for the Wall Street Journal at the time, provided an exemplary example of investigative journalism in their tale of greed and glory, secret deals, and corporate sparring that is both informative and as readable as a well-written fast-paced novel. This edition contains a new afterword commissioned for the 20th anniversary of the story in which the authors revisit the winners and losers and trace the fallout of the deal.
