Disney War

Great book, covers so much ground but never drags

This is one of the most interesting business books I've read. The fact that it is Disney definitely makes it easier to enjoy than the corporate drama of other companies. Stewart provides a great in-depth look at all aspects of the Disney company from the 1980's to early 2000's. If you are someone looking to learn more about Disney during this time, the drama behind the business decisions, as well as film production behind the scenes this book is a must read. Even if you are just looking to learn more about the business side of traditional film/tv production this is a great resource. It was also interesting to look back at different time periods, especially the early 2000's, and remember what was culturally relevant at that time.
