The Poetry of W. B. Yeats

The complete and superbly told story of the most bitter and controversial takeover struggle in business history. 'There are tactics and methods here to keep business and law schools going for years' The Sunday Times. 'This is the stuff of Boesky, T. Boone Pickens and the self-destructive greed of Wall Street. Coll make much use of reconstructed dialogue which provides the reader with a feeling of the drama played out in board and court rooms. Post-Boesky and post-crash, this will have a wide appeal.' Bookseller. 'Gordon's activities and counter-action by those inside and outside Getty Oil who opposed him, are chronicled enthrallingly in this brilliant book which, though very long, races along like a gripping thriller' Manchester Evening News'It is a story replete with superlatives - from the largest-ever corporate takeover (at the time) to the largest civil judgement ever awarded by a jury (still). And the tale that lies behind all these superlatives does not disappoint.' Financial Times.
