Barbarians at the Gate or The PMP Exam

Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco

Author: Bryan Burrough

Barbarians at the Gate has been called one of the most influential business books of all time -- the definitive account of the largest takeover in Wall Street history. Bryan Burrough and John Helyar's gripping account of the frenzy that overtook Wall Street in October and November of 1988 is the story of deal makers and publicity flaks, of strategy meetings and society dinners, of boardrooms and bedrooms -- giving us not only a 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.

Barbarians at the Gate -- a business narrative classic -- is must reading for everyone interested in the way today's world really works.

New York Times Book Review

One of the finest, most compelling accounts of what happened to corporate America and Wall Street in the 1980s.

Los Angeles Times Book Review

A superlative book...steadily builds suspense until the very end.
