"I had the privilege of working closely with Marvin and McKinsey
for many years. This book makes Marvin come to life and perpetuates
him as a role model."
-Peter F. Drucker
"A wonderful book about a wonderful man. In many ways, Marvin's
McKinsey framed the hypotheses in our own search for excellence-for
example, passion for values, belief in people as the prime
resource, and willingness to let people experiment. As well as I
thought I knew Marvin, however, this remarkable book, drawing on
the collective memories of those who worked most closely with him,
taught me a ton about how extraordinary the man really was and what
made him that way. Many have called Drucker the man who invented
management; I think history will conclude that both he and Marvin
Bower share that pedestal."
-Bob Waterman, coauthor of In Search of Excellence
"Marvin Bower became a legend, not just within McKinsey &
Company, but within professional services and the business world
more broadly. In everything he did and said, he embodied the
professional approach and the importance of values. This book sheds
remarkable insight on a remarkable man and on the power of
constancy of purpose."
-Ian Davis, Worldwide Managing Director, McKinsey & Co.
"It is as Marvin would have wanted it-simple, honest, fact-based,
wonderful stories with a long-term perspective. An insightful read
about the father of management consulting."
-Lois Juliber, retired COO, Colgate-Palmolive
"This book provides fascinating insight into the early days of
modern management consulting. It is an extremely enlightening look
at the origin of one of America's most important professions and
one of America's most innovative leaders."
-Thomas H. Lee, founder, Chairman, and President, Thomas H. Lee

the controversy sparked by the film Zero Dark Thirty, newer

particular attention paid to its themes of political nostalgia and
the turn to global settings and audiences. Updated and expanded
chapters on nonfiction film and advocacy documentaries, the
politics of race and African-American film, and women and gender in
political films round out this expansive, timely new work. A
companion website offers two additional appendices and further
