Wrong Way: The Fall of Conrad Black

by Jacquie McNish, Stewart Sinclair

Tautly written and fast-paced, Wrong Way chronicles the excesses of a larger-than-life entrepreneur whose autocratic temperament and management style would prove to be his undoing. It is a testament to the rise of shareholder activism and a cautionary tale of corporate cronyism at its worst.

Reviews

[M C · Rating 3 out of 5]

-Reads a lot like a thriller for a non fiction
-Doesn't give full nitty gritty details, which given the shear amount of information is probably a good thing
-Conrad and company come out looking like utter crooks, with evidence to support it
