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.

Brilliant

Great book on the insider trading scandal and its leading characters. The parallels to the current insider trading scandal are clear, as is the corruption sneaking in on otherwise decent and intelligent people ("relax, everybody does it"). Very interesting description of the political process leading to Milken's deal with the state prosecutors office. Very well written.


Incredible story told with remarkable detail

Until reading Den of Thieves, Liar's Poker was my personal favorite when it came to Wall Street books. Stewart's account of Michael Milken, Ivan Boesky, and Martin Siegel, among others, is incredibly detailed and wonderfully laid out. Learning the backgrounds of almost every character in the book helps the reader better understand each person and how they got themselves into this mess. While I do believe Stewart has plenty of quotes in the book that are hard to believe are truly 100% accurate quotes, and he definitely throws in a bit of his own politics by knocking down the "Raegan-era economics" whenever possible, he did an excellent job writing a complete story for what was a very complex insider trading scheme.

True story about Insurance industry

This is a TRUE story about the rip off that Prudential did to the American public.
This was prior to the scandal about Worldcom, etc. Although some of it is a bit dull and dry, stay with it. I know I did. And, it was mind blowing to learn how men in power can manipulate, lie, cheat, deceive all in the name of MONEY.
Like you, I had always believe that Prudential was a sterling company with a valuable honest reputation. I guess it did at one time until this man became CEO.
It is Greed beyond belief and a huge eye-opener. But, you will need to be the judge upon reading it.
