This is the eye-popping truth about greed on a JCB scale. Mouthwatering stuff' Griff Rhys Jones, The Top Ten Best Non-Fiction Books for Men, The Independent, October 2003 This is the story of the largest corporate take-over in American history. With a stake of $25 billion, the battle for the control of RJR Nabisco during October and November 1988 became a symbol of the greed and power-mongering of the eighties. This gripping narrative reveals the truth behind a Wall Street gamble that sent shock waves through the international business world. The rules were simple:--NEVER PAY IN CASH--NEVER TELL THE TRUTH--NEVER PLAY BY THE RULES.
