The predators' ball : the inside story of Drexel… par Connie Bruck
See also papers in SH Archive Financial Institutions box 3.
Engrossing account of the rise both of Drexel Burnham Lambert and of junk-bond finance in the 1980s, only to see things collapse at the end of the decade. Some entertaining anecdotes, and some harrowing ones. Bruck is mostly negative on the whole emergence of the genre, though she does point out the handful of success stories.
Milliken, Michael (Subject); Drexel Burnham Lambert (Subject)
The book was great when it concentrated on Wasserman or Jules Stein but when it got into the details of some of the deals or politics, it was boring.
