### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Fascinating Read on the "Sausage" of Deal-Making
  

*by A***Z on Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2014*

I have been reading Mr. Davidoff's columns for a very long time, so needless to say I was eager to pick up a copy of this book when I came around to it. I found the style of the book,, illustrating key concepts surrounding deal-making structures through real-life (often fast-paced and adversarial) case studies, to be very engaging and informative. In addition, I think that many of his predictions on where M&A would head have at least in part held true. Either way, I would certainly recommend this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Overview of MAC clauses alone was worth the price of admission
  

*by T***L on Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2012*

This book delivers on its promise to provide an insiders view of a history of deal making up to the present.  And I've never read such a thorough analysis of the practice and implications of Material Adverse Change clauses.  It was simply excellent.  Given my rating, I clearly liked this work.  My only criticism is that it read like two books.  The first two-thirds were as described above.  That last third covered the well worn path of the 2008 financial crisis (Bear  bailout and Lehman Brothers collapse, etc.).  It seemed disjointed from the rest of the book and, since the crisis has been covered so extensively in other works, it seemed tired here especially in comparison to the fresh insights Davidoff shared earlier in the book.  But to be clear, I would absolutely recommend this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A valuable account of what drives dealmaking
  

*by K***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2010*

Steven Davidoff is one of the most perceptive observers of the legal side of the M&A world. If you're a corporate lawyer and you aspire to be an active participant in dealmaking rather than a mere scrivener, you should read "Gods at War." With its account of deal mechanics and the recent history of the takeover markets, including what transpired during the financial crisis, it provides a valuable big-picture perspective on how deals are made or not made.
