Out of the ruble of the financial meltdown that began in 2008 we're starting to see signs that the market for corporate acquisitions is coming back to life. From Berkshire Hathaway's deal to buy Burlington Northern to Novartis's proposed squeeze-out of the minority shareholders of Alcon, large scale deals are moving to the forefront. Professor Steven Davidoff's Gods at War gives you the background you need to understand the changing landscape of mergers and acquisitions, most importantly the shifting legal ground on which these takeovers take place.Professor Davidoff teaches law after practicing in the M&A field for a decade, and his book is about the law, but it's not written for lawyers - thankfully. Instead, it is for readers with some understanding of the financial markets and an interest in learning how deals get done, or are thwarted by management and competitors. Most importantly, he explains how new sources of capital, especially private investment pools and hedge funds, are changing the way transactions occur.As an added bonus, Gods at War provides a nice history of the financial meltdown after the collapse of Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers in 2008. What had once been a private market, with S.E.C. regulation but not much serious interference in the marketplace, has changed into what he calls "Government by Deal." The current financial reform legislation aims to make this a permanent feature of the financial system by giving Washington the power to seize control of large institutions that pose too great a risk to the economy's stability - making permanent the notion of "too big to fail." His assessment of where the deal machinery may be headed looks to be dead on.
