Summary
WING WALKING is a true business story, not a story about balance sheets or high finance, but one that opens the door to the boardroom and provides a look at the well-hidden personal motives that shape executive decisions at the highest levels. Egos and ambition, power and betrayal, love and longing weave together an engaging cast of characters in a tale that starts with the FDA recalling a blockbuster drug. With billions of dollars at stake, what follows is at times tragic, at times hopeful: a son tries to wrestle his family business from his father; a socially ambitious Englishman battles with his wife's embarrassing past; a Vietnam POW desperately seeks to become the industry's leader while trying to control his growing affection for one of his colleagues. Eventually all three become entangled in an acquisitive struggle in which it's difficult to tell the winners from the losers. Using his extensive experience as a business executive and corporate director, Harry Groome lets his readers in on the very real--and very human--conflicts and consequences of multinational corporate deal-making.
