Goldenson was an unsung giant of the entertainment industry. He learned from Zukor and Balaban at Paramount, interacted with Sarnoff and Paley, and built a great company against great odds and all-powerful competition. That took great creativity. Any leader could learn a great deal from this man. The book is honest, humble, and very well-written. It is worth the price alone for his insights into the other moguls.
