Barbarians at the Gate (Part 1)

Okay, among the other things I never thought I’d be doing (and loving) was reading about the fall of RJR Nabisco. But here I am, halfway through the book and at the edge of my seat. The learning curve is pretty steep here – I get a bit lost on the technical bits and have to go back to have things make sense – but I’m liking that I’m learning about leveraged buy-outs in an impressionistic way – a real rough-and-tumble, gritty real-life adventure.
