—New York Times Book Review

A #1New York Timesbestseller and arguably thebest business narrative ever written,Barbarians at the Gateis 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. TheLos Angeles TimescallsBarbarians at the Gate, “Superlative.” TheChicago Tribuneraves, “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.

A book that stormed both the bestseller list and the public imagination, a book that created a genre of its own, and a book that gets at the heart of Wall Street and the '80s culture it helped define,Barbarians at the Gatehas eml³’
