Description: This book recounts the frenzy that overtook Wall Street in October and November of 1988. It is the story of deal makers and publicity flaks, of strategy meetings and society dinners, of boardrooms and bedrooms--giving us not only a detailed look at how financial operations at the highest levels are conducted but also a richly textured social history of wealth at the twilight of the Reagan era.
