Customer Reviews

Gives a good understanding of Warner Communication

This book gives a good understanding of the history of Warner from Kinney to the creation of Time Warner. This is an excellent book to give an understanding of how a media empire is built.

A very good book

Connie Bruck, along with Joe Nocera is probably American's best living business writer and this is another great work from her. A good story about a man who starts off running his father in law's funeral palor and winds up the head of one the world's biggest companies.Bruck spends a lot of time discussing the charm and the personality of Ross and admits that Ross is someone that she really likes. The book does not have the balance of her previous book, The Predators Ball, but does not Michael Milken as subject matter like that book did too. I would definitely recommend owning a copy of this book.Don McNay...

Crazy & thrilling biography.

Anyone in media or entertainment has to read this book. It was, by far, the strangest story I read during two years of business school and it will help Time Warner employees understand how the company & culture was created. M & A people should also check this out since the merger of Time & Warner is the most interesting part of the book. Time was supposedly buying Warner Bros yet the Warner top brass ended up in charge.
