Product Description
In this fast-paced book, named one of the "Top Ten of 2001" by BusinessWeek, Mitchell Pacelle tells the gripping story of the ten-year struggle for control of America's most famous skyscraper-a tale of greed and duplicity that consumed, and nearly destroyed, some of the real estate world's most controversial tycoons.
"Makes for delicious reading...it is a grand human comedy, and Mitchell Pacelle has a fine time with it."
-The Washington Post"Who'd have thought that real estate dealings could read like a gossipy novel of intrigue?"
-Entertainment Weekly"Features legal wrangling, political posturing, family feuds, financial high jinks, and lost fortunes...a finely wrought narrative that embodies the style-and the hysteria-of New York real estate."
-USA Today"Bluster, temperamental outbursts, one-line putdowns and endless deviousness, all meticulously recorded by Mr. Pacelle."
-The Economist"Great business writing and even greater gossip ...reads like a cross between film noir and a Harold Robbins novel."
