Description

This sweeping financial saga traces the rise of Apollo Global Management from the wreckage of the junk-bond era to one of Wall Street’s most powerful investment empires. At its center is Leon Black, a brilliant, relentless dealmaker whose appetite for risk helped redefine private equity and private credit while drawing him into fierce rivalries, controversial relationships, and mounting scrutiny. Against a backdrop of seismic changes in global finance, the book explores the ambition, loyalty, betrayal, and hubris behind extraordinary wealth—and the personal and institutional costs of unchecked power. Based on meticulous reporting and extensive access to the people who shaped Apollo, it offers a gripping portrait of a financial dynasty at its moment of reckoning.
