Product Description:
A number-one bestseller from coast to coast, Den of Thieves tells, in masterfully reported detail, the full story of the insider-trading scandal that nearly destroyed Wall Street, the men who pulled it off, and the chase that finally brought them to justice. Pulitzer Prize winner James B. Stewart shows for the first time how four of the biggest names on Wall Street -- Michael Milken, Ivan Boesky, Martin Siegel, and Dennis Levine -- created the greatest insider-trading ring in financial history and almost walked away with billions, until a team of downtrodden detectives triumphed over some of America's most expensive lawyers to bring this powerful quartet to justice.
Based on secret grand jury transcripts, interviews, and actual trading records, and containing explosive new revelations about Michael Milken and Ivan Boesky written especially for this paperback edition, Den of Thieves weaves all the facts into an unforgettable narrative -- a portrait of human nature, big business, and crime of unparalleled proportions.

- an analysis of corruption
An analysis of corruption at the most disgusting level. Every player in this expose got what they deserved. A good book.
Rating:
- A Brilliant Tragic Epic
James B. Stewart's magnificent book recounts a wide conspiracy by Wall Street investment bankers, who were already some of the most highly-paid individuals in the world, to use inside information to generate instant profits for themselves at tremendous cost to ordinary shareholders, American taxpayer, and the health and credibility of the American financial system. Such a book about such greedy malicious individuals can easily degenerate into a polemic but it is a credit to the author's brilliant ... Read More
Rating: - Easy Money
I read this after enjoying Stewart's later book, Disney War. This one was more thrilling as it involved real crime but still written very well as if the author was in the room. The characters include bad guys, good guys that gave in to the dark side and a few good guys that felt strong about following the law. It was the beginning of dishing out real punishment for white collar crime although one can argue they were let off easy compared to today's convictions.
Rating:
- lots of facts, little story
James Stewart has done an excellent job of gathering information about the insider-trading scandal of the 1980s, so if you're looking for all the details of these events, you'll find them in this book, which is clearly-written and well-organized. What you won't find, though, is great storytelling. Stewart is content to recount one fact after another, rarely putting them in context or using them to build narrative suspense or to reveal character. As a result--and despite the inherent drama of the events ... Read More
Rating: - Good read
'Den of Thieves' was sewn together by James Stewart from numerous Wall Street Journal articles he wrote on the M&A scandals during he 80s -- and it shows. The story is very difficult to follow, not only because the fraud was so complex, but also there were numerous players; Stewart doesn't do himself any favors by jumping around a lot. Still, it was very interesting and the second half of the book, marked by Boesky's surrender to federal agents in September 1986, is nothing short of riveting! If you enjoy ... Read More
