DisneyWar by James B. Stewart
3.0
I'm a huge Disney fan and love reading about Disney history, but this book was a little disappointing. The introduction and first section, The Wonderful World of Disney, were quite interesting and engaging. However, as the book continued into parts two and three, I found it harder and harder to read. Some of the language got rather boring and repetitive, so I would skim over large sections at a time. On a note more related to personal interest, I found some sections would go in depth on some business and financial related stories that were really not interesting or relevant and could have been told in far fewer words.
As a whole, I would recommend the book to a devout Disney fan who wants to learn more about a time period that is so significant in the company's history and has effected so much of what we see today. I find it pairs nicely with several Disney+ docuseries, like the Imagineering Story and Howard. If you're not a huge Disney fan and don't have much of a background of the main "characters" and settings, you'll probably find yourself disengaged and slightly confused.
Overall, I enjoyed the book, but it's certainly not my new favorite.
