Reviews

[Bennett Kane]

This book is okay. It has a lot of good information, but it reads like an un-revised first draft. If someone gave this book an "Elements of Style" brevity treatment, it would get five stars.

Overall, gave me a realistic picture of how M&A affects the value of firms.

[Marwan Al Mounajjed]

It was an amazing experience learning about financial laws, how companies protect themselves, how bidding occurs and finally how to evaluate a company. It was a good step to eliminate some of my kew financial weaknesses

[Shridhar]

very good book and would recommend serious readers of M & A to have one go at this book. adds lot of value and very happy with its simplistic approach to a complicated subject,
