Den of Thieves: Intervention and Treatment Strategies

Terrific

Fascinating stories of the 80s stock market boom including the doings of Milken, Boesky, and others that defined the financial history of that age. They could and should make more movies on this era.

It shows how the "Haves" operate and to what an extent one can go to achieve devious goals.

Good.

Great book!

I was continually astonished at how the author was able to make a highly technical series of events exciting to read.

Etwas zu sehr gehyptes Buch aber dennoch sehr lehsenswert.

Eccellente servizio

4.5 stars - This was a struggle! If you're a reader who only feels right when they can leave a book at a chapter mark, you'll struggle too! The chapters are massive :)A seriously in-depth and well constructed analysis of the Wall Street shenanigans of the late 80's, it's easy to be completely floored by the sheer amount of funds being thrown around on every page. Stewart has clearly done his homework and compiled an excellent inside-story of greed, arrogance and ignorance.I was enthralled as the house of cards was built higher and higher than it was every designed to go, and it was exhilarating to watch the cards near the bottom removed one by one before the whole thing came tumbling down.The books' main narrative largely covers an even more exciting one for this reader: the tension and relationships between the criminals and those charged with ensuring they pay for the damage they've caused. The line can so easily be blurred or forgotten when any party prioritises its own gains above the others. While you can understand the rationale for some decisions, they were ominously close to the outcome of the actions by the people under investigation.To paraphrase George Shaw: If you try to wrestle with a pig, you're going to get dirty.This would have attracted five stars if the chapters were half the length.
