Barbarians at the Gate

The Fall of RJR Nabisco

Bryan Burrough

An iconic account of the corporate takeover frenzy of the 1980s, Barbarians at the Gate is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of business and power. With a detailed and gripping narrative, authors Bryan Burrough and John Helyar capture the greed and double-dealing that led to the fall of RJR Nabisco, one of America's biggest corporations. Even decades later, the cautionary tale of Barbarians at the Gate remains relevant and riveting.

People sometimes ask me like “I want to go into finance, what books should I read,” and I always say “well Liar’s Poker and Barbarians at the Gate of course” before getting into more specific recommendations. I might add Diary of a Very Bad Year to the “of course” list.      source
