Consider Barbarians at the Gate by Bryan Burrough. Recommended by 6 sources.

“Barbarians at the Gate is a granular, journalist-driven account of the RJR Nabisco buyout and the 1980s takeover era, rich in boardroom scenes, personalities, and deal mechanics. Its greatest value is the texture: reader-level portraits of dealmakers, negotiation theatrics, and step-by-step descriptions of financing moves. Its main limitation is pace and density—extended sequences of transactional detail and a large cast can slow momentum and feel repetitive, so the book rewards patience more than a quick takeaway or prescriptive analysis.”
