About the Book

"Cold Steel" is a riveting account of the most hard-fought and dramatic industry takeover of recent years. In 2006, the world’s two largest steel producers, led by two extraordinary men, engaged in a fierce battle for market dominance that reverberated through political corridors, excited the global financial markets, and reshaped the steel industry forever.

The book chronicles the high-stakes confrontation between Lakshmi Mittal, a self-made Indian industrialist, and Guy Dolle, the French CEO of Arcelor, the world's largest steel producer by turnover. Mittal, once growing up in a modest home with his grandfather, became the richest man in Britain, while Dolle led Arcelor to become a steel powerhouse. The rivalry culminated when Mittal made a dramatic bid to acquire Arcelor, sparking a corporate war involving billions of dollars, secretive maneuvers, and allegations of deceit.

With unprecedented access to the key players, "Cold Steel" provides an insider’s perspective on the corporate world at its most ruthless. It details the strategies, political machinations, and battles fought by investment bankers, takeover lawyers, hedge funds, lobbyists, and billionaires who played critical roles in this epic clash.

Fast-paced and gripping, this book offers an unparalleled insight into the world of high-stakes corporate warfare, making it an essential read for anyone interested in business, industry, or the world of finance.
