For thirty years Kolber was chairman of Cemp Investments, the Bronfman trust, and Cadillac Fairview Corporation, one of the largest real estate firms in North America. He charts his directorship of Dupont and other companies in which the Bronfmans held an important interest and reveals the inner workings of mega deals, including the Bronfman acquisition of MGM in the 1960s. The memoir also offers a sobering look at Edgar Bronfman Jr's disasterous decision to sell Seagram's 25 percent interest in DuPont in order to buy MCA-Universal Studios, a deal that Kolber strongly opposed and which signalled the dissolution of a great business empire.

"The most fascinating reading comes when Kolber pulls back the curtains on the private world of the Bronfmans, especially the fall of the business empire that made the family, in the words of Peter C. Newman, the Rothschilds of the New World." The Montreal Gazette "Kolber shares insights into the Bronfman family and the intertwined corporate history of one of Canada's most storied businesses and is unusually indiscreet for a member of the establishment." Financial Post "The best business memoir I've ever read." Rod McQueen, author of The Icarus Factor: The Rise and Fall of Edgar Bronfman Jr. "Leo Kolber's surprisingly candid and entertaining memoir is a jazzy, fast-paced book, filled with his insider and at times wild stories about working for the Bronfman family dynasty for thirty years." The Hill Times
