Investment Banks, Corporate Finance, Junk Bonds, Michael Milken, Drexel Burnahm Lambert, Ivan Boesky

I read this book at College in 1990. I still feel that it is a good material for those interested in Corporate Finance, Investment Bank, Mergers & Acquisitions. It is also a prelude to the capture of various junk bond peddlers of that time such as Ivan Boesky and later the financial wizard, Michael Milken. Whilst it talks a lot more about the happenings of Drexel Burnham and Lambart, it takes the reader to understand the setting and scenario of the capital markets of the 1980s and early 1990s with even 'Green Mailing' and other real life examples of such schemes being cited. In the US, it is the lawyers who play an important and highly significant role in Corporate Finance and Advisory, coming up with 'poison pill' and various traps and structures in deals. This is contrastingly very different to the UK and Malaysia where it is the Corporate Finance person or Merchant Bankers that almost always gets the first news and privy to the overall picture and normally gets involved in the planning right through the execution of deals.
