Barbarians at the Gate - The fall of RJR Nabisco

"For hours the two men sat on the back porch talking.
It was as peaceful an afternoon as the younger man, a lawyer just down from New York, had ever seen. On the horizon, the sun was a sinking red ball. Below, delicate snowy egrets poked through the reeds of the Intracoastal waterway."

"This book arose from the author's coverage in the Wall Street Journal of the fight to control RJR Nabisco in October and November 1988. Our goal in pursuing the story behind those public events has been to meet the standard of accuracy and general excellence that the journal sets for journalists everywhere."
