Publisher Synopsis
"...unputdownable...as gripping as any thriller...gasp in disbelief..." (Reading Chronicle, September 2004) "...the raciest business book you'll read all year..." (Business Eye, August 2004) "For a pacy, racy, throwaway beach read, Testosterone Inc. scores highly." (CFO Europe, July 2004) "...while there is a remarkable amount of business history, there is enough talk of divorces...to justify taking this to the beach." (The New York Times, July 11, 2004) "...entertaining and eye-opening..." (Barron's, June 7, 2004) "...unearths tantalizing stories of bad behavior ." (USA TODAY, June 1, 2004) "'Testosterone' reads like a juicy novel but, as its elaborate footnotes remind readers, the stories are true." (Newsweek, May 17, 2004) "Irresistible, wonderfully well written, superbly documented...This book is a fabulous read." (Toronto Globe & Mail, May 17, 2004) "Combine[s] an understanding of balance sheets with an ear for gossip and an eye for human failings." (Daily Telegraph, 8 May 2004) "New York journalist Christopher Byron lays bare the sexual antics of America's most celebrated business heroes." (Daily Telegraph, 5 May 2004) Read more...
