Money Games is a fascinating story of one of the most successful takeover deals in history: the acquisition and turnaround of what used to be Korea's largest bank by US firm Newbridge Capital.

Full of intrigue and suspense, this insider's tale is told by the deal's main architect, celebrated author and private equity investor Weijian Shan. With billions of dollars at stake and the nation's economic future at stake, Newbridge Capital sought to become the first foreign company in history to take control of one of Korea's most beloved financial institutions.

In a proud country still reeling from a humiliating International Monetary Fund bailout in the Asian financial crisis, Newbridge Capital had to muster every ounce of skill, determination and patience to get the deal done.

Shan takes readers inside the battle to gain control of the bank, a delicate and often exasperating process that meant balancing Newbridge's goals with those of the government, the bank's employees, and Korea's powerful industrial titans.

Finally, the author describes how Newbridge transformed and rebuilt the struggling bank into a shining example of modern banking, as well as a hugely profitable investment. In the secretive world of private equity, few acquisitions have been written with such clarity, detail and insight, and none with such exhaustiveness, covering not only the negotiation but also the transformation and eventual exit of the investment.

For anyone who has ever wondered how private equity investors strike deals, transform businesses, and create immense value, or for anyone interested in a captivating story about making money with a lot at stake, this book is a must-read.
