The Pfizer Inside Story - WOW

The latest issue of Fortune magazine (Aug 15, 2011) found its way into my hands this morning.

The title screamed loudly to me, Inside Pfizer's palace coup (full text Fortune magazine story online) - Did CEO Jeff Kindler get pushed out because he was shaking up the dysfunctional pharmaceutical giant - - - or because he was an ineffective leader?

I can't describe this compelling story any better than the Fortune magazine cover:

What happened at Pfizer. The inside story of revenge, betrayal, and power at the top of the world's largest drug company.

The tale is a gripping must read. Kudos to the authors:  Peter Elkind and Jennifer Reingold (with Doris Burke)
