DisneyWar

I read it, and loved it. I loved everything about it. The corporate intrigue, backstabbing and appalling lack of respect for other people demonstrated by all the key players was fascinating. It never ceases to amaze me what people will do, and go through, for power and wealth. I loved Barbarians at the Gate as well, so maybe it's just my thing. Real life beats fiction any day. I have re-read the book several times, and am now reading it again. I think Stewart doesn't dwell on the Theme Parks angle too much because it is so publicised already, whereas most of this is behind-the-scenes stuff, as with Tarses, et al. Most of these people are just so corrupt- it's astounding just how much so.

I have read 3 or 4 books about Disney behind the scenes (older ones, titles escape me at the moment), plus Autumn of the Moguls which is about the big execs from all the media congloms. I have always dug this stuff. But this book boooored me. Oh well.

Thanks to zapp for all that info, very cool.
