The Titans of Takeover
Last updated October 31, 2026
Robert Slater recounts the corporate takeover wave of the 1980s through the people who led it, including raiders such as T. Boone Pickens and Carl Icahn and the bankers and lawyers who worked with and against them. He explains how hostile bids, junk bonds and leveraged buyouts worked and how they changed American business. First published in 1987, the book was later reissued by Beard Books.
