Who were those two corporations? I would like to give them an ATTABOY.
One was WorldCom (was that the name of the now defunct corporation?) and the other was a phone corporation but I've forgotten the name (MCI?).
The author started writing the biography because he was a fan of Jackson's and all that changed as he started researching Jesse. It's an excellent book.
I'm looking at the flyleaf of the book.
In Shakedown you'll learn how Jackson lied about the assassination of MLK, Jr.; how Jesse was affiliated with one of Chicago's most notorious street gangs, learned politics from card carrying Communists, raided corporate America in the name of the poor but really to enrich himself and his cronies, his corrupt mixture of official diplomacy and unofficial business with African dictators, the inspiring story of a CEO who stood up to Jackson's bullying and won.
Jackson is a money making monster machine.
