In March 2005 the business world woke up to an unprecedented full-page
ad in the Wall Street Journal calling for the removal of Morgan
Stanley's CEO. Less than four months later, a group of eight retired,
multimillionaire executives had orchestrated a stunning revolt within
the most prestigious and--until recently--most successful
financial-services firm on Wall Street. Now acclaimed journalist and
historian Patricia Beard brings together the entire behind-the-scenes
story, exposing the tale that shook high finance. This riveting
real-life thriller is a must-read book for anyone who wants to
understand the past, present, and future of American business.
