Pressestimmen
"The Informant is epic in scope, a tale of human foibles--of greed, deceit, and arrogance--and also of the search for truth. Eichenwald has told it masterfully, with the narrative drive of a novel. I guarantee it'll keep you reading late into the night."-- Jonathan Harr, A Civil Action"The Informant is superb reporting in the service of a great story, one with the drama and suspense of a Le Carré novel. Set squarely in the American heartland, delving into the inner sanctum of a global corporation, it explores the shifting boundaries of truth and deception, loyalty and betrayal. It is a remarkable achievement."-- James B. Stewart, Den of Thieves and Blind Eye"The twists and turns of this nonfiction work leave many thrillers in the dust. Eichenwald's spare prose and journalistic eye for detail make the pages fly."-- David Baldacci, Absolute Power and Saving Faith"I would say The Informant reads like Grisham, only nobody ever could have invented these characters. A tale this riveting and this strange could only have been built from truth."-- Sherry Sontag, coauthor, Blind Man's Bluff
Klappentext
d-winning New York Times investigative reporter comes an outrageous story of greed, corruption, and conspiracy—which left the FBI and Justice Department counting on the cooperation of one man . . .It was one of the FBI's biggest secrets: a senior executive with America's most politically powerful corporation, Archer Daniels Midland, had become a confidential government witness, secretly recording a vast criminal conspiracy spanning five continents. Mark Whitacre, the promising golden boy of ADM, had put his career and family at risk to wear a wire and deceive his friends and colleagues. Using Whitacre and a small team of agents to tap into the secrets at ADM, the FBI discovered the company's scheme to steal millions of dollars from its own customers. But as the FBI and federal prosecutors closed in on ADM, using stakeouts, wiretaps, and secret recordings of illegal meetings around the world, they suddenly found that everything was not all that it appeared.

It is an okay book shows you how corrupt the Americans are in business.Price fixing commodities around the world etc.
In gut verständlichem Englisch erzählt Kurt Eichenwald die Geschichte der kriminellen Machenschaften von ADM (Archer Daniels Midland Company) und deren Aufklärung.Aufgrund einer unüberlegten Handlung wird ein Mitarbeiter vom FBI verhört, und entschliesst sich zur Zusammenarbeit mit den US-Behörden. Stück für Stück werden nicht nur diverse Verbrechen ans Tageslicht gebracht, sondern auch die labile Persönlichkeit des Insiders deutlich gemacht.Wüsste man nicht, dass der Pharmakonzern "Roche" zu Strafzahlungen von $500 Millionen verurteilt wurde und könnte man die Tatsachen dieses Buches nichtnachprüfen, so würde man wetten, dass es sich um einen Spionageroman handelt und sich so eine Geschichte nicht ereignet haben kann!
I knew of Mark but hardly "knew" him. Nutrition and feed formulation has been my professional life for almost 60 years. As a poultry nutritionist I used the amino acids that were involved in price fixing. The purchasing was the responsibility of the purchasing department. I once had a meeting scheduled with Mark. He flew into town late at night , then departed early the next morning. He left a message. "Had to leave." That was strange. Fascinating Book.
Extraordinary story, and scary because similar price fixing schemes that are in the press today by major corporations. Riveting and hard to put down. And what’s very interesting is the weaving of political influence and the “K†street legal/ lobbying industry on behalf of corporate leadership. Where was the Board of Directors/ buddies of the Chairman? Every MBA program in the country should make this mandatory reading.
The story was absolutely amazing. The writing, however, was not the best. There were too many characters to follow. Of course, they were real characters so they had to be in the book. It was more informational than entertaining, i.e., it was "work" to read. I finished it, but I wouldn't want to read another by the same author. A more skilled storyteller could have made it more readable, I think.
I was very interested in reading this book.Very long and too much details that I felt wasn't too interesting in places. I viewed a video of Mark Whitacre on Utube since he was released from prison. Hope he can stay focused now on his mission about Bi-Polar condition. Also a movie about this book staring Matt Damon.
Although the book is well written, it takes way too long to to get results, the endless interviews and meetings have worn me down. I am over 250 pages in and have finally given up and put it down.It may be worth the read; but I'll never find out.
