The most explosive chapter of this exceptional, much-anticipated book may be its last, wherein Stewart (Den of Thieves, etc.) indicts Disney chief Michael Eisner on multiple charges: “Eisner squandered Disney’s assets” [and] “committed personnel and judgment errors which… in the vitriol and publicity they generated, are without parallel in American business history.” Eisner, Stewart finds, is a “Shakespearean tragic character” whose fatal flaw is “dishonesty,” which in the author’s view led directly to the ruptures with Steve Jobs (Pixar) and the Weinstein brothers (Miramax), the Disney Company’s most important partners, and to former animation head Jeffrey Katzenberg’s successful $280 million suit against Disney for moneys owed upon his firing. Stewart’s DisneyWorld is a land riven by naked ambition and its necessary consequence, hubris, as during his reign (1984–present) Eisner left behind “a trail of deeply embittered former employees.”One of Eisner’s many achievements—Stewart tosses his subject petals as well as thorns—was the construction of the Team Disney headquarters in Burbank, buttressed by towering models of the Seven Dwarves; but there’s no real place for Happy in the Disney world that the author portrays with unflagging precision. Stewart smartly frames his book with personal experience, opening with a description of his difficult training and inept performance in a Goofy suit at DisneyWorld, and closing with several encounters with Eisner (who, amazingly, cooperated with the book in part); at one, Eisner explained to Stewart that “Disney” is a French name, and that a Frenchman would pronounce the name D’Eisner as “Disney.” Stewart understands the medieval nature of corporate life and presents business as a clash not only of ideas but of personalities. With a dream cast that includes Katzenberg and fallen überagent Michael Ovitz—both of whom come off no worse than Eisner, which is faint praise—plus heir apparent Robert Iger and ultimate Eisner nemesis Roy Disney (the book’s hero, if there is one), Stewart has an astonishing story to tell. His notable accomplishment is that he tells it so well. The book is hypnotically absorbing—nearly 600 dense pages drawing on an impressive array of sources to build what reads like an airtight case against Eisner’s leadership. There’s much more craft than art here—Stewart’s prose and approach are meticulous but lack the empathy and deep insight that can make a character truly Shakespearean; this is journalism told not with a novelist’s eye but with a master journalist’s—yet that craft is expert throughout and will help thrust this book toward the top of national bestseller lists.
