Description
The Predators' Ball: A gripping account of American business history in the making. In 1980s Wall Street, a philosophy of greed dominated the scene. Michael Milken's Drexel Burnham Lambert was at the forefront, financing corporate raiders and inventing innovative strategies like "the highly confident letter" and "blind pools". But on September 7, 1988, everything changed when the Securities and Exchange Commission charged Milken with insider trading and stock fraud. As the story unfolds, Connie Bruck reveals the motivations behind Milken's drive for power and money. What drove him to break the law? Did Drexel Burnham Lambert condone his actions? The Predators' Ball is a gripping account of the rise and fall of this empire, exposing the darker side of high finance. With vivid storytelling and a smooth command of financial terminology, Bruck brings this era to life.
