loslibros 's review for:

Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco by Bryan Burrough, John Helyar

4.5

informative reflective tense medium-paced

---

This is a remarkable achievement in narrative nonfiction. The events of a corporate buyout should be boring, even torturous, to read about. Instead, this book reads like a fictional thriller. 

I knew it was a good book when I found myself rooting for people who, politically, I should disdain.
