520    "It was the most brutal corporate restructuring in Wall 
       Street history. The 2015 bankruptcy brawl for the storied 
       casino giant, Caesars Entertainment, pitted brilliant and 
       ruthless private equity legends against the world's most 
       relentless hedge fund wizards. In the tradition of 
       Barbarians at the Gate and The Big Short comes the 
       riveting, multi-dimensional poker game between private 
       equity firms and distressed debt hedge funds that played 
       out from the Vegas Strip to Manhattan boardrooms to 
       Chicago courthouses and even, for a moment, the halls of 
       the United States Congress. On one side: Apollo Global 
       Management and TPG Capital. On the other: the likes of 
       Elliott Management, Oaktree Capital, and Appaloosa 
       Management. The Caesars bankruptcy put a twist on the old-
       fashioned casino heist. Through a $27 billion leveraged 
       buyout and a dizzying string of financial engineering 
       transactions, Apollo and TPG--in the midst of the post-
       Great Recession slump--had seemingly snatched every prime 
       asset of the company from creditors, with the notable 
       exception of Caesars Palace. But Caesars' hedge fund 
       lenders and bondholders had scooped up the company's paper
       for nickels and dimes. And with their own armies of 
       lawyers and bankers, they were ready to do everything 
       necessary to take back what they believed was theirs--if 
       they could just stop their own infighting. These modern 
       financiers now dominate the scene in Corporate America as 
       their fight-to-the-death mentality continues to shock 
       workers, politicians, and broader society--and even each 
       other. In The Caesars Palace Coup, financial journalists 
       Max Frumes and Sujeet Indap illuminate the brutal tactics 
       of distressed debt mavens--vultures, as they are condemned
       --in the sale and purchase of even the biggest companies 
       in the world with billions of dollars hanging in the 
       balance." --|cProvided by publisher.
