What is new in this book is not takeovers, but the size, the hostility, the destructive implications for the corporations, and the introduction of the individual entrepreneur into the game.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Freelance investigative journalist Johnston tells in dramatic terms the financial story of the 1980s: the mergers and hostile takeovers that have made greenmail, poison pills and golden parachutes household words. "Full of revelations, excitement and cause for concern," PW noted.

From Library Journal
Johnston devotes her attention to the motives and methods of the personalities driving the megabuck merger and acquisition phenomenon of the early 1980s. This activity is clearly of historic proportion for the financial industry, though this account offers neither the verve of a first-hand participant nor the distance of a skilled financial historian. Nevertheless Johnston, an investigative journalist, has described a series of complex interactions involving personalities whose relations with each other often shift unpredictably. What emerges, aside from a heightened insight into the close-to-the-vest financial community, are portraits of individuals revealed by their reactions to these high stakes events. Recommended. Joseph Barth, U.S. Military Acad. Lib., West Point, N.Y.
