I don't really like this book. Not because it's a bad read, because it really isn't, but because it aims to be a thriller when it clearly isn't. The framing of the Mittals as a clear-eyed focussed bunch of people vs Arcelor's brash, don't give a shit, 'vehemently opposed to Mittal' style of work establishes stereotypes and the good/bad dichotomy quite early and leaves one with no doubt about the author's own biases.

Of course, everyone knows what happened. The two companies merged and became Arcelor-Mittal. The book tries to create artificial suspense and tension in many places, and while the occasional delving into the history of both companies is quite fascinating, the overall effect gets ruined the more you get into the day-to-day details of what really happened.

All in all, the book reads like a somewhat competently-written piece of fanfiction. 2/5, because it could have been written better.
