Book Reviews of Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco

Book Review: Better than "Wall Street"
Summary: 5 Stars

Definition of a page-turner, loved it. The authors got so much out of their interview subjects, the personal thoughts and dialog left you feeling like you were a part of these negotiations. They portrayed everyone even-handedly when it was probably tempting to make villains out of Ross Johnson or Henry Kravis. Extremely entertaining, a first class example of literary non-fiction.
