This book has some interesting takeaways in its three modules - PE history which covers a wide range (8 chapters) and provide a excellent backdrop of the PE "industry" along with some interesting datasets. In my view the second section of Governance is the most meaty as it gets into importance of internal control aspects and how these can help deliver higher investment returns. The author's other book on Controls [...] was equally helpful to me. The third section "Operations" is OK - personally, I am not heavy into operations and hence I was not able to extract much here. Overall, a good read and will make an excellent addition to the bookshelf of PE practitioners - seasoned and newbies alike.

Great book, very helpful practical insight.
