500 $aAbout the author: “Otto Friedrich was born in Boston and graduated from Harvard, where his father was a political science professor. He took a while to find his literary stride. His career took him from the copy desk at Stars and Stripes to a top writing job at Time, with stops in between with the United Press in London and Paris and with The Daily News and Newsweek in New York. But it was the seven years he spent with The Saturday Evening Post, including four as its last managing editor, that established Mr. Friedrich as a writer to be reckoned with. When the venerable magazine folded in 1969, Mr. Friedrich, who had seen the end coming and kept meticulous notes, delineated its demise in a book, 'Decline and Fall," which was published by Harper & Row the next year. Widely hailed as both an engaging and definitive account of corporate myopia, the book, which won a George Polk Memorial Award, is still used as a textbook by both journalism and business…” -- https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/170340.Otto_Friedrich

520 $aFriedrich was one of the top editors of the original Saturday Evening Post for about 10 years until its demise in the late '60s. The book is a description of all of the mis-steps that led to the collapse of the Post. It's also, inadvertently, about the change in American business that took place at that time when conglomerates were devouring (and later, evacuating) old-economy warhouses like Curtis Publishing (the publisher of the Post). It's a sad book with an elegiac quality--particularly moving are the last chapters when everyone sees the disaster coming but can't stop it. Friedrich clearly loved the Post and it shows in this wise book. The writing is fresh and clean as one would expect. -- Amazon.com
