A unique insider view into the recent AIG crisis and Hank Greenberg
For nearly forty years, Maurice "Hank" Greenberg was one of the most powerful CEOs in America. He built American International Group (AIG) from a second–rate insurer into one of the world′s most profitable companies. But times have certainly changed, and now author Ronald Shelp—who worked alongside Greenberg and within the AIG organization for many years—sheds light on both AIG, the company, and Hank Greenberg, the man.
This fully updated Second Edition digs deep to uncover the latest developments for both Greenberg and AIG, such as the many lawsuits underway, including?a?criminal trial that will send five men—one who still works?for Gre enberg—to prison. Filled with international intrigue and expert business acumen, this book paints a compelling portrait of both the past successes and current crises of Hank Greenberg and AIG.
