Barbarians at the Gate: A classic of the business world. The 1989 bestseller is a business reporting classic, detailing the fall of US conglomerate RJR Nabisco. Penned by Bryan Burrough and John Helyar, Barbarians at the Gate follows one of the 1980s’ biggest business scandals, starting with the merger of a tobacco company and a packaged foods player (already not a great idea) to create RJR Nabisco, to the era of CEO F. Ross Johnson, during which the company’s stock performance plummeted but the company’s management team continued to see perks. Johnson eventually proposed a leveraged buyout of the company, kicking off a bidding war that raised plenty of questions and eyebrows about the ethics of Wall Street.
