| Plot Summary of Den of Thieves |
|---|
"Den of Thieves explores the main players behind why the 1980's were characterized as the "decade of greed." James Stewart pieces together the shady (and often illegal) transactions that occured throughout Wall Street among such big players as Ivan Boesky, Michael Milken, and Martin Siegel. With the unveiling of raw greed and total disdain for the securities laws of the U.S., witness the rise of the top financiers of the country through strategic pacts and friendships and their subsequent fall due to the hardworking government officials that took down some of the most powerful and wealthy men of the 1980's."
Matthew Van Leeuwen, Resident Scholar
