Barbarians at the Gate

The level of detail is impressive but also overwhelming at times. I wonder if they had exclusive access or if it was all painstaking research from public records.

The complex web of alliances and betrayals made it hard to tell who was the hero or villain. Was it just about greed or were there genuine moments of strategy and ambition?

Given how much finance has evolved, I'm curious whether the dynamics in the book still reflect modern corporate battles or if it feels like a different era.
