{"product_id":"cold-steel-tim-bouquet-9780349120973","title":"Cold Steel: Lakshmi Mittal and the Multi-Billion-Dollar Battle for a Global Empire","description":"Corporate takeovers can be as punishing as a heavyweight fight, and \"Cold Steel\" chronicles one of the most contentious ever. The high-stakes story reads like a gripping novel, with a rags-to-riches success story, international intrigue, astronomical volumes of money, and electrifying plot twists. With billions in cash and hundreds of thousands of jobs at stake, Arcelor owner Guy Dolle, a cocksure Frenchman accustomed to succeeding in a tough industry and aided by the Luxembourg government, attempted to take over Mittal Steel from rags-to-riches billionaire Lakshmi Mittal, the fifth richest man in the world. The resulting conflict -- an epic corporate battle that sent shockwaves through the political corridors of Europe, strained the world's financial markets, enriched 30 hedge funds, and permanently transformed the global steel industry -- is meticulously detailed in \"Cold Steel,\" the riveting story of dueling titans of the business world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim Bouquet, Byron Ousey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0349120978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780349120973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Abacus (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 4.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Tim Bouquet","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43945235546367,"sku":"9780349120973","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_66281035-2881-4b24-bed4-35616343ee3d.jpg?v=1681507570","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cold-steel-tim-bouquet-9780349120973","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
