Synopsis
Routinely ranked among the best business books of all time, BARBARIANS AT THE GATE is a fascinating firsthand account of the 1988 corporate takeover of RJR Nabisco, which was, at the time, the biggest buyout in Wall Street history. Bryan Burrough and John Helyar, reporters for the Wall Street Journal, document the frantic maneuvering and furious negotiations which took place behind closed doors as two competing groups, one led by CEO F. Ross Johnson and the other by noted business mogul Henry Kravis, engaged in an epic boardroom battle for control of one of the world's largest corporations. Johnson had originally consulted with Kravis on pursuing the buyout, but later switched partners, so that the deal became more than "strictly business." Feeling betrayed, Kravis amassed a colossal fortune and finally outbid Johnson, but not before both sides employed every trick in their arsenal to defy one another, such that the collateral damage of the bitter negotiations actually lowered the real value of the company, even as the bidding price skyrocketed.

Publisher's Note

Over six months on the New York Times bestseller list, Barbarians at the Gate is the definitive account of the largest takeover in Wall Street history. Bryan Burrough and John Helyar's gripping record of the frenzy that overtook Wall Street in October and November of 1988 is the story of deal makers and pulicity flaks, of strategy meetings and society dinners, of boardrooms and bedrooms, giving us not only an unprecedentedly detailed look at how financial operations at the highest levels are conducted but also a richly textured social history of wealth at the twilight of the Reagan era. As compelling as a novel, Barbarians at the Gate is must reading for everyone interested in the way today's world really works.



The definitive account of the largest takeover in Wall Street history. The fight to control RJR Nabisco, with $25 billion at stakem will be remembered as the ultimate story of greed and glory. "All the suspense of a first-rate thriller . . . one of the finest, most compelling accounts of what happened to corporate America and Wall Street in the 1980s".--New York Times Book Review.

The stunning New York Timesand national bestseller (more than 430,000 copies sold in hardcover and trade paperback) that details the definitive story of the takeover of RJR Nabisco is the basis for an HBO movie produced by Ray Stark and written by Larry Gelbart, starring James Garner and Jonathan Pryce.

Industry Reviews
"One of the best written books about finance, it recounts the brutal takeover battle for RJR Nabisco...."
(08/07/2006)

"As fiction, the basic storyline would be unsettling enough; presented as fact, it's downright ominous....[BARBARIANS AT THE GATE] succeeds admirably in depicting the Wall Street culture of investment bankers and lawyers who grow fat on the consulting fees generated by takeover deals. Larger-than-life figures...are painted in broad, often unflattering strokes against a background of extravagant corporate luxury."
(01/01/1990)

"A reportorial tour de force that provides a stunningly detailed recap of the events leading up to the megabuck takeover of RJR Nabisco....Burrough and Helyar make a fine job of recounting the personality conflicts and value judgments that enlivened the protracted engagement....[BARBARIANS AT THE GATE is] a definitive reading on one of the less edifying chapters in capitalism's checkered history." (starred review)
(01/31/1989)
