Ambani & Sons: From The Author Of The Ployester Prince

Ambani & Sons is the riveting story of one of the wealthiest families in the world. Dhirubhai Ambani was a rags-toriches tycoon whose company, Reliance, is now one of India's major corporations. His sons, Anil and Mukesh, took over after his death in 2002 and their respective arms of the company are bigger than the parent ever was. However, a family feud of colossal proportions, that has had political reverberations, ensued.

The Ambani tale contains a bigger story about modern India, not only as an economic powerhouse, but about the complicated links between the government and a big business.
