| Bibliography: | Filled with international intrigue and expert business acumen, Fallen Giant carefully details how founder Cornelius Vander Starr built his empire-from American Asiatic Underwriters to AIG-and why he ultimately handed it off to the dynamic, driven, and tough-minded Hank Greenberg. With Greenberg at the helm, you'll learn how this calculated risk-taker transformed AIG into a public entity, expanded its operation to new countries, and acquired hugh businesses. You'll also see how Greenberg's numerous connections with both politicians and business professionals allowed him to become a highly visible spokesman for the industry, a leader in the nonprofit and philanthropic worlds, and an important figure in foreign policy circles. |
