From the Publisher

This astounding uncovering chronicles the rise and tactics of KKR (Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Company) which came closest to making "leveraged buyout" a household term. It documents a history of ambition, excessive fees, and "strategic" gifts to bankers, public officials, members of the press, and others. It is the shocking indictment of a Wall Street money machine spinning out of control. The book is fascinating reading on financial history and the misuse of power.

From the Inside Flap

From USA Today:

Official word from KKR is that Sarah Bartlett's Money Machine "does not merit comment." But behind the scenes KKR is pulling out the big guns.

From the New York Times Book Review:

A valuable book...a very readable book...to understand contemporary financial history, one must know about KKR.
