In the heart of the magic kingdom, a storm was brewing, one that would shake the foundations of the Happiest Place on Earth to its core. "DisneyWar" by James B. Stewart is a riveting exposé that delves deep into the tumultuous reign of Michael Eisner, the once-celebrated CEO of Disney, whose leadership spiraled into a saga of betrayal, power struggles, and corporate warfare. With unprecedented access to the key players, including Eisner himself and Roy Disney, nephew of the legendary Walt Disney, Stewart unveils the behind-the-scenes battles that led to a dramatic corporate civil war, threatening the very essence of the Disney legacy. Through meticulous research and captivating storytelling, Stewart uncovers the layers of intrigue and ambition that fueled the conflicts with icons such as Jeffrey Katzenberg, Michael Ovitz, and Steve Jobs, revealing the complex web of relationships that dictated the fate of the empire. From boardroom showdowns to the corridors of power within Disney's enchanted realms, "DisneyWar" is a tale of monumental rise and fall, embodying the timeless struggle for control of an empire that captures the imagination of millions around the world. This book is not just the story of a company, but a testament to the enduring allure of the magic that Disney represents—now told through the lens of its darkest hours.

[Details] the evolution of the modern-American media conglomerate. - Saagar Enjeti
You don’t do something because it’s a sure thing. You don’t do something for the bank. That’s the one that flops. That’s a riskier proposition than doing something completely original. It’s risky to be safe.
— James B. Stewart, DisneyWar
