The Caesars Palace Coup: How a Billionaire Brawl Over the Famous Casino Exposed the Power and Greed of Wall Street

"Max Frumes and Sujeet Indap’s deeply reported book takes you on a nonstop adventure into the wild world of Chapter 11 bankruptcy – where corporations go when they’re out of money, and where clever investors are still somehow able to extract billions upon billions of dollars. It’s an upside-down case study in entrepreneurship and brinkmanship. The book reads like a thriller, except you’ll come away knowing how hedge funds and private equity funds do what they do. But it’s not just about who won what: Thanks to years of dogged reporting and comprehensive interviews with basically every party involved, you get to witness it as it happened in real life. It’s a romp that also happens to be true, and the system Frumes and Indap lay out has vast consequences for American society."
