From the publisher

Roy and Walt Disney will go down in entertainment history as one of its all-time most successful, productive, and creative sibling teams. Without Roy, the world might never have known Wait. While his younger brother dreamed, sketched, and imagined, Roy stayed in the shadows, inventing an empire. Building a Company is a fully authorized look at the other Disney genius, featuring never-before-published interviews, notes, letters, and photographs. For the first time, it illuminates the Disney family story behind all the Disney family stories: the Disney brothers' unique relationship.

Walt and Roy weathered tempestuous moments in their lifelong partnership, but neither wavered from their goal of making Walt's dreams tangible and sharing them with the world. After Walt's death in 1966, Roy postponed retirement to realize his brother's vision of creating a theme park where people could go to experience a world of imagination, which Roy eventually named Walt Disney World "so people will know that this was Walt's dream". Building a Company is a powerful and fascinating.testament to the vision and talent of the "other half" of the Disney team.
