About this title: Two reporters for Le Monde detail how Jean-Marie Messier took a conservative French water company and made it into a media conglomerate, Vivendi Universal. The authors describe how Messier's hubris led to the takeover of more companies than he could manage, among them many American media assets, and his eventual ousting in a boardroom coup.
Note: This is a general synopsis. Each listing is further described below.
