It pulls back the curtain to show that all these moves are personal and often motivated by jealousy.
It's 25 years out of date, but it's a great read nonetheless
Read it recently too. If you liked it, I’d recommend you check out “Grounded” the story of how Frank Lorenzo messed up Eastern and Continental, as well as “Skygods” the story of Pan Am.
I just bought the book on Reagan and the PATCO strike. I’ve read mixed reviews so I’ll drop a comment with my impression of it when I’m done.
