Reel and Rout

The world's leading shareholder activist and expert on corporate governance displays remarkable skill in turning his vast experience and knowledge of business, boardrooms, media, and politics into a forceful first novel. As one of the leading media moguls of the last 50 years nears the end of his work life, Cedric "Drive" Rhodes turns his attentions to a hostile takeover target that is nothing short of an American icon. Monks' tale of greed gone wild is a timely work that shows how the inner workings of corporate America function, and not always in the larger interests of society.
