Like one of the movie moguls of old Michael Eisner is a titan feared powerful and almost magically successful After rising through ABC television and Paramount Pictures he awoke the sleeping giant of Disney and sent it stomping across the entertainment landscape But since the tragic death of Frank Wells in a helicopter crash in 1994 he has lacked for the first time in his career a colleague who could temper his personalityThe result writes Kim Masters has been a slide into a Nixonian paranoia and isolation In The Keys to the Kingdom Masters crafts a gripping account of this largerthanlife story of largerthanlife hubris combining an insightful analysis of power in Hollywood with a vivid deeply researched narrative that brings the personalities the enmities and the corporate mayhem to life
