In the 1980s, RJR Nabisco, the producer of the well-known Oreo cookie brand, was acquired by a securities company at a whopping price. The acquisition approach is a classic example of a leveraged buyout. By gathering first-hand data and using fascinating descriptions of the events, the two authors of the book have recreated the most famous Wall Street merger and acquisition war in the 1980s. So, how did KKR, the “barbarian” in the security market, acquire the business tycoon, RJR Nabisco?
