Modern mergers and acquisitions, or MA as it's more commonly known, is a new phenomenon. The buying and selling, the breaking up and combining of companies - the essence of MA - has been a part of commerce throughout history, but only in our era has MA itself become a business. In 2007, before the recession hit, it was a $4.4 trillion global enterprise. And yet, it remains largely unexplored. Discrete stories have been pulled from the annals of MA, both true and fictionalized, that have become touchstones for wealth and excess. Who can forget Gordon Gekko and his "Greed is Good" speech? But while there have been a few iconic characters and tales to emerge, no one has told the rich history of MA, until now. This is a look into that world and the people who created it. This reads like Dallas meets Wall Street, told through an intriguing narrative that not only brings to light in gritty detail all of the back room drama of such powerful players as Carl Icahn, Joe Flom, Marty Lipton, and Bruce Wasserstein, but also reveals how the new generation, including activist whirlwind Bill Ackman and iconoclastic new Delaware judge Leo Strine, will dominate the next tsunamic, and imminent, MA boom. 'Not only does this intriguing book bring to life the real Gordon Gekkos of the world but it also puts their actions and achievements into a global financial context...detailed and lively' - Economist Intelligence Unit 'an entertaining history of the American merger-and-acquisition scene since the mid-1980s...the outsized personalities, and the way they behaved, make for eminently readable stories' - The Economist
