Sumner Murray Redstone, once feared as the “mad genius” of media who would dump his CEOs for mere wobbles in his companies’ stock price, had built one of the world’s greatest media empires through a series of audacious takeovers constructed to ensure that he always maintained control. Today he controls 80 percent of the voting shares of both Viacom and CBS, meaning that on a whim he could replace the entire boards of two public companies with a combined value of $40 billion.

Feels biased. Well researched, but not engaging.

a story that highlights how arrogance blinds
Revisado: 07-17-18
It's an interesting book, that follows the rise of power of a whole family and the centralizing force of a patriarch. His arrogance seems to mask his insecurity. It appears that he wanted to prove his worth constantly. I would speculate that he sought his father's approval in some strange way. his arrogance is why Viacom may have missed the social media boat. it allowed underlyings to jockey for personal power and not be held truly accountable.
