One of the most important business and public leaders of the second
half of the twentieth century gives us a frank and compelling
memoir that tells the story behind the headlines of many of the
celebrated and controversial mergers that reshaped American
business.
Hailed as "the preeminent investment banker of his generation,"
Felix Rohatyn's very personal account offers readers a telling look
at some of our era's most renowned figures in the worlds of
finance, entertainment, and politics. We are alongside as he meets
Steve Ross in the back of the funeral parlor Ross is managing as
they strategize to take control of Warner Brothers; in the
art-filled apartment of legendary financier Andre Meyer as they
negotiate with Frank Sinatra; with Harold Geneen as ITT weathers a
series of congressional investigations; one step ahead of a canny
Michael Ovitz as Matsushita attempts to win control of Lew
Wasserman's Universal Pictures; defending the shareholders'
interests as the RJR-Nabisco buyout becomes a cautionary tale of
executive greed. And we have a front-row seat as Rohatyn and
Governor Hugh Carey forge a desperation plan to save New York City
from bankruptcy. We also accompany Rohatyn as he serves as
ambassador to France, a country he barely escaped alive when as a
young boy he and his Jewish family fled from the Nazis.
Full of headline-making revelations, insider stories, keen
personal observations, and relevant financial wisdoms, "Dealings"
is the page-turning story of a life well-lived.
