From the Publisher
A penetrating view of corporate takeovers selectively chosen to give a balanced perspective of the people, processes, and the issues of the takeover wars of the 1980s. Moira Johnston describes in well-researched detail the leveraged buyouts, the proxy fights, tender offers, and the negotiated mergers that defined these financial wars.
From Publishers Weekly
Investigative journalist Johnston, whose reportage has appeared in Esquire, National Geographic, etc., tells in dramatic terms the great financial story of the 1980s: mergers and hostile takeoverbattles involving the country's largest corporationsTexaco, Revlon, CBS, Union Carbide et al.with financiers like T. Boone Pickens, Carl Icahn and Sir James Goldsmith maneuvering to buy up shares or woo stockholders for control and to profit from undervalued assets or ensuing share-price movements. A whole new lexicon of tacticsgreenmail, poison pills, golden parachuteshas become familiar. Meanwhile, price gyrations unbalance the stock market and the net worth of insurance, pension and other institutional funds. On paper, the raiders make millions; for the target company, a takeover may mean finished careers and closed factories. Though a bit short on explaining the mechanics of it all for laypeople, Johnston's saga is full of revelations, excitement and cause for concern. First serial to the New York Times Magazine.
