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.
