Den of Thieves is a 1992 non-fiction book by American writer James B. Stewart.

Den of Thieves recounts the insider trading scandals involving Ivan Boesky, Michael Milken, and other Wall Street financiers in the United States during the 1980s, such as Robert Freeman, Terren Peizer, Dennis Levine, Lowell Milken, John A. Mulheren, Martin Siegel, Timothy Tabor, Richard Wigton, Robert Wilkis, Tony Ressler, and others.

[1][2] Intertwining the stories of financiers, bankers, lawyers, and the law enforcement officials who pursued them, Den of Thieves tells a true tale of arrogance and complacency amongst the Wall Street elite.

As leveraged buyouts and takeovers proliferated in the heady 1980s, information on which companies were being targeted became ever more valuable.

Stewart shows how some of the biggest names in American financial history were involved in one of the greatest insider-trading schemes ever and how their exposure and punishment sent shock waves through corporate America.
