Praise for The AIG Story "The world has known Hank Greenberg as one of the major figures in 20th-century American business and as a man of strong principles who never wavered in times of crisis. This important book illuminates his remarkable rise, his transformation of an industry, and his thoughtful views on the upheavals of his era." --HENRY A. KISSINGER " The AIG Story is a riveting presentation of all that derives from exemplary leadership and adherence to the best of capitalistic principles and respect for solid values.?? Alas, it is also a story of what happens when a craven corporate board is bludgeoned by government officials hell-bent on personal political gain with no respect for truth and justice. A must-read for anyone with entrepreneurial leanings and a desire to build a great business." --KEN LANGONE, Co-Founder, The Home Depot "This is the amazing story of how Hank Greenberg, considered to be one of the best CEOs of his era, built AIG--a great company with a market value that rose from $300 million in 1970 to $180 billion in 2004--and then sadly lost it due to a series of politically-motivated charges." --JOHN C.

WHITEHEAD, former Co-Chairman, Goldman Sachs and former Deputy Secretary of State "A priceless history of innovative global enterprise, transparent corporate governance and the strength of personal character. With no clich??s, platitudes, simplistic recipes, or technical jargon, every page of this intelligent, fast-moving book brings readers fascinating insights into the foundations of contemporary global finance and the essence of courageous leadership." --JEFFREY SONNENFELD, Professor and Senior Associate Dean, Yale School of Management, author of The Hero's Farewell and Firing Back "Hank Greenberg's innovations, strategic mind, and bold vision helped to transform an entire industry and open markets all over the world. His story is a must-read on the development of the global economy." --PETE PETERSON, Founder and Chairman, Peter G. Peterson Foundation and Co-Founder, The Blackstone Group " The AIG Story is an engrossing tale of how Hank Greenberg, at the center of international business for four decades, built a global powerhouse. The story of this American icon, not without controversy and conflict, is must reading for anyone interested in business." --MARIA BARTIROMO, CNBC Anchor and author.
