"Read historically, it's the story of an original voice who reminded boards and managements that they had shareholders to whom they were accountable, a reminder that drives modern corporate governance. Read personally, it's the portrait of an idealistic driven man on a mission, impaired at times by ego and wants common to all human beings. Read closely, it's the fascinating detail of the frustrations and exhilaration of exercising good faith shareholder activism."-Ira M. Millstein, Esq., Weil, Gotshal & Manges
Robert A. G. Monks, Sohn einer privilegierten, wohlhabenden Familie, nutzte seinen Status, um einen Guerillakrieg gegen die Großindustrie zu führen. Als messerscharfer Geschäftsmann und engagierter Bürger kämpfte Monks gegen die größten US-Konzerne, wie z.B. Sears, Kodak und Honeywell. Er gründete und unterstützte die Aktionärs-Aktivistenbewegung, die heute wesentlicher Bestandteil der Geschäfts- und Unternehmenspraxis ist. Eine sensationelle Biographie, für die Monks dem Autor Einsicht in private Notizen, Briefe und Reden gewährte. (01/99)
