Review by The Boston Globe
The reviewer wrote: "In all those years I have read hundreds of books about Hollywood and the film industry, and this book is right at the top."
Lew Wasserman, the influential and often feared boss of the Music Corporation of America (MCA) until the 1990s, was a key figure in film history, from silent films to the present. He was a mentor to Alfred Hitchcock, Marilyn Monroe, Marlon Brando, Jimmy Stewart and a new generation of directors such as Steven Spielberg and George Lucas.
Journalist Dennis McDougal conducted interviews for more than four years with over 350 people who knew Wasserman personally, including colleagues, family and rivals. In addition, he based himself on thousands of documents to sketch a unique portrait of this legendary figure and his time.
The New York Times Book Review called it "thoroughly researched and engaging", while the Daily News simply described it as "a real revelation".
