From the Back Cover

"Gods at War brilliantly analyzes the legal issues, the politics, and the players in high-profile merger and acquisition transactions. Steven Davidoff is a master of the tactics and rules of deal-making, and he has once again shown why he is one of the country's most respected legal writers."
--ROB KINDLER, VICE CHAIRMAN AND GLOBAL HEAD OF MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS, MORGAN STANLEY

"In Gods at War, Steven Davidoff, aka The Deal Professor, delivers a detailed and lucid treatise of the fascinating historical precedents that resulted in the frenzied deal-making activity that ended abruptly with our current financial crisis and then goes on, in impressive fashion, to discuss what deals will look like in a new era dominated by government ownership and a lack of acquisition financing. Deal practitioners--and those just curious about all the fuss--will want this book at the top of their reading list."
--WILLIAM D. COHAN, AUTHOR OF HOUSE OF CARDS: A TALE OF HUBRIS AND WRETCHED EXCESS ON WALL STREET AND THE LAST TYCOONS: THE SECRET HISTORY OF LAZARD FRÈRES & CO.

"Davidoff is one of the most insightful and perceptive minds in the world of deal-making. With an ability to distill the most complicated legal issues into clear prose, he has become a must-read inside the nation's boardrooms and corner offices."
--ANDREW ROSS SORKIN, EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK TIMES'S "DEALBOOK" AND AUTHOR OF TOO BIG TO FAIL

"Where will M&A go next? Any answer depends on an understanding of the merger wave of 2002-2008, which this book affords. Rich in fresh insights, carefully researched, and well written, Gods at War gives a threshold to the future of M&A. I recommend it to students, practitioners, and fans of high finance."
--ROBERT F. BRUNER, DEAN AND CHARLES C. ABBOTT PROFESSOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION, DARDEN SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA; AUTHOR OF DEALS FROM HELL: M&A LESSONS THAT RISE ABOVE THE ASHES; AND COAUTHOR OF THE PANIC OF 1907
