About this listen

A true story of family, ambition, and greed in the most bitter and controversial takeover struggle in business history. The high-stakes fight between Texaco and Pennzoil to take over Getty Oil is a startling and intriguing case involving family infighting, courtroom drama, and corporate intrigue that ends in bankruptcy and the largest damages award in American history.

Great listen, if you’re interested in finance-shminance

One of the best in its category. Ran quite fast through the end bits which would’ve topped the story off better if presented in more detail.
