La battaglia per il controllo di RJR Nabisco nell'autunno del 1988, che divenne la più grande e drammatica acquisizione aziendale nella storia americana, mandò onde d'urto nel mondo degli affari internazionale e divenne un simbolo dell'avidità, dell'eccesso e dell'egoismo degli anni Ottanta. Barbarians at the Gate racconta questa battaglia di due mesi con ritmo e stile mozzafiato, e trasporta indietro all'impero di Wall Street prima che crollasse, attraverso le porte della sala riunioni, nelle riunioni di mezzanotte, nei tradimenti, nei mediatori e nelle critiche pubblicitarie, in un mondo in cui - come ha detto il CEO di Nabisco Ross Johnson - ''qualche milione di dollari si perdono nelle sabbie del tempo''. Vent'anni dopo, il mondo si sta di nuovo riprendendo da un periodo di stravaganza e irresponsabilità finanziaria. Questa edizione riveduta aggiorna il thriller aziendale definitivo per una nuova generazione di lettori.

'A stone-cold classic' Financial TimesTHE BESTSELLER THAT DEFINED AN AGE, NOW WITH A NEW FOREWORDFrom two award-winning business journalists comes the rollicking tale of one of the largest corporate takeovers in American history'The most bizarre financial mock-epic of our age. Read it open-mouthed; wonder and shudder' Independent'One of the best business books of all time' EconomistThe fight to control food and tobacco giant RJR Nabisco during October and November of 1988 was more than just the largest takeover in Wall Street history. Marked by brazen displays of ego not seen in American business for decades, it became the high point of a new gilded age, and its repercussions are still being felt. The ultimate story of greed and glory, Barbarians at the Gate is the gripping account of these two frenzied months, of deal makers and publicity flaks, of an old-line industrial powerhouse that became the victim of the ruthless and rapacious style of finance in the 1980s.Written with the bravado of a novel and researched with the diligence of a sweeping cultural history, here is the unforgettable story of the takeover in all its brutality.'A soap opera of greed and clashing egos' New York Times The battle for the control of RJR Nabisco in the Autumn of 1988, which became the largest and most dramatic corporate takeover in American history, sent shock-waves through the international business world and became a symbol of the greed, excess and egotism of the eighties.
