图书简介
Den of Thieves is a story of deception, greed, power, and ultimately, justice. Pulitzer Prize winner James B. Stewart meticulously narrates the scandal that almost brought down Wall Street, through his interviews, secret grand jury transcripts, and actual trading records. The book is divided into two parts, Book One - Above the Law, and Book Two - The Chase. Book One focuses on how Michael Milken, Ivan Boesky, Martin Siegel, and Dennis Levine created the greatest insider-trading ring in financial history, and Book Two details the efforts of a team of downtrodden detectives that brought the powerful quartet to justice. The epilogue conveys the harsh reality of the consequences of their misdemeanors for the central characters. The book is a captivating page-turner that is both educational and entertaining. The book is a must-read for anyone who is interested in finance, investment, and the dark side of Wall Street.
