Synopsis

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.

About this title

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 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.
