^#smrgSAHAF Moguls: Inside the Business of Show Business -

Dust jacket notes read: "MOGULS is the inside story of the entertainment industry over the past fifty years. From the individual showmen of the late 1920s to the awesome might of the conglomerate machines that now manufacture our culture, here is the story of the men and organizations that fashion our fantasies, dreams, and attitudes. Drawing on personal interviews, court records, private papers, and other sources, Michael Pye presents a close up look at six of the men who produce our television, theater, movies, and music. They are: Jules Stein, founder of MCA; William S. Paley, creator and head of CBS; David Merrick, Broadway producer; Peter Guber, former creative head of Columbia Pictures and now a independent film and record producer; Trevor Nunn, current director of the Royal Shakespeare Company; and Robert J. Stigwood, film producer."
