On greedy traders, misguided regulators, sleazy subprime companies, cowardly legislators, or clueless home buyers? According to Bethany McLean and Joe Nocera, two of America's most acclaimed business journalists, the real answer is all of the above-and more. Many devils helped bring hell to the economy.

Publisher's Summary
A number one best seller from coast to coast, Den of Thieves tells, in masterfully reported detail, the full story of the insider-trading scandal that nearly destroyed Wall Street, the men who pulled it off, and the chase that finally brought them to justice.
Pulitzer Prize winner James B. Stewart shows for the first time how four of the biggest names on Wall Street - Michael Milken, Ivan Boesky, Martin Siegel, and Dennis Levine - created the greatest insider-trading ring in financial history and almost walked away with billions - until a team of downtrodden detectives triumphed over some of America's most expensive lawyers to bring this powerful quartet to justice.
Based on secret grand jury transcripts, interviews, and actual trading records, and containing explosive new revelations about Michael Milken and Ivan Boesky written especially for this new edition, Den of Thieves weaves all the facts into an unforgettable narrative - a portrait of human nature, big business, and crime of unparalleled proportions.

Awesome book
Awesome book detailing an era of unparalleled greed and organized crime rarely exposed in such detail. The persons becomes alive and you sense their character, rotten and flawed, yet human. The book could use an update with some of the later developments such as how the main criminal Michael Milken was allowed only to serve a few years of his 10 year sentence. Also it’s surprisingly suspicious how most of the involved are still highly rich, Milken even a billionaire to this day, even though they have all been banned from the industry. It could indeed be interesting with an update that covers these recent events. Nevertheless it’s a great book and a worthwhile listen.

Captivating story-line
The depth which "Den of Thieves" goes to explain the insider trading scandal of the 1980's is incredible. The amount of detail captured in this book makes the reader feel like he/she part of the story. This story illustrates how humans are imperfect and can be overcome with greed and winning. James Stewart, humanizes all of the characters by describing their flaws and shortcomings. Further, he describes the strong relationships they have with each other. Many people can relate to each character in some way or another. It is a great read and I would recommend it to anyone... even if they have a limited knowledge of financial markets.

This is one of my favorite books!
I love reading Wall Street books and, in particular, the white collar crime books. This is a perfect blend of a great story, great writing, and great narration. The writer does a great job giving a lot of background on the different characters so you get an idea of their personalities. The story is particularly great just because the characters in the story are just SO BOLD at how they pulled off these crimes.
One of the place that a lot of books like this fall down is having too many characters so that it makes it hard to keep track. This author does a great job of giving background on the important ones so you actually remember them.
Great narration too, probably my favorite narrator I've come across.

Fantastic book that explains how Wall Street thieves got away with it
A fascinating explanation that is deep but not overly burdened with technical details showing how greedy people like Ivan Boesky and Michael Milken were able to cheat, steal and lie about it, while railroading Investors and ruining companies with mountains of debt….AND GET AWAY WITH IT. They are still millionaires, and have created fake publicity to try and “improve” their image, and live their lives pretending that they never did anything “wrong.” Wall Street is not for the outsiders, but to benefit a core group of inside traders. Johnny Heller’s performance brings the people and the book alive.

Great story
The book is divided into two parts. The first deals with the individual stories of the participants in the crimes and wrongdoings and is very interesting, fast paced, etc. you basically can't stop listening to the story. The second part, which focuses on the investigation and trials, contains a lot of detail on the legal proceedings, which I particularly did not enjoy as much as the first part. Overall, it's a great book, and the audio performance is terrific, maybe the best I've heard so far.

a worthwhile commitment
It's only appropriate that such a massive, tangled web of crime has the huge book to match. In a good way, however, because there is so much to cover from individuals to institutions and you get a good understanding of it all. There are A LOT of players involved here which can be slightly confusing but the story is well worth committing the time to. It dragged a bit for me towards the end of the first act and it takes awhile for the resolution to get going but pretty great otherwise.

Real world Wall Street in the 1980's
An entertaining story of the insider trading schemes of the masters of Wall Street in the 80's. This story inspired the classic film Wall Street and some of the true details resemble aspects in the film that are truly remarkable. Much more detail and additional characters are obviously portrayed in the book which also goes into great lengths to detail the legal efforts to discover the integrated network and size of the insider trading that was pandemic in Wall Street.
The later half of the book is less entertaining with the excessive detail of court proceedings, lawyer manoeuvres, etc. But overall, learning about the key players at the time and the frauds they committed that enacted laws for unknown practices makes this book a quintessential part of learning financial history.
