The New York Times [free subscription required] has an excellent review up today of the new book Disney War, set to be released February 22nd. “The book describes Disney’s Darwinian corporate culture. (‘What Michael likes to do is put six pit bulls together and see which five die.’) It presents this on a Monopoly board of dizzying scope: it has space for film, theater, television, theme parks, sports, merchandising, publishing, the Internet and more. This great success, much of it arriving under Mr. Eisner’s aegis if not at his instigation, becomes both a point of pride and an excuse for unbridled executive arrogance.” Variety also posted some thoughts on Disney War here, though not officially a full review.
