Autumn
of the Moguls
My Misadventures
With the Titans, Poseurs, and Money Guys Who Mastered and Messed
Up Big Media
By Michael Wolff
New
York Magazine Award-winning columnist Michael Wolff goes against
industry’s greatest leaders to bravely bring to light and
discuss their shortcomings. In Autumn of the Moguls: My Misadventures
With the Titans, Poseurs, and Money Guys Who Mastered and Messed
Up Big Media, Wolff tells how legendary figures who were once
at the top of their profession have suddenly suffered a devastating
domino effect. Overnight, their powerful empires came crashing down.
Wolff
has a ringside seat as he casually picks apart well-known characters
of the age that includes AOL Time Warner’s Gerald Levin, Steve
Case, Bob Pittman, and Walter Isaacson. He’s put a unique
sarcastic spin on some of the major business pitfalls of the century.
Autumn
of the Moguls: My Misadventures With the Titans, Poseurs, and Money
Guys Who Mastered and Messed Up Big Media is best appreciated
by a sophisticated business mind. As I was only an average reader,
I became lost when I didn’t immediately recognize all the
powerhouse great names he was exposing. I’m sure fans of Wolff’s
that are familiar with his quirky dialogue and writing style will
come to appreciate Autumn of the Moguls: My Misadventures With the
Titans, Poseurs, and Money Guys Who Mastered and Messed Up Big Media. |
