SNAPSHOTS FROM HELL

THE MAKING OF AN MBA

Peter Robinson

"A fabulous book. It's fun, it's wild, it's weird."
Tom Peters

"Anyone contemplating a Master of Business Administration degree should rush to the nearest bookshop and order a copy."
The Times

"An entertaining read."
Financial Times

During his first frenetic year at Stanford Business School, Peter Robinson began keeping a journal of his day-to-day impressions which evolved into this book, the writing of which he came to see as a "simple act of decency, like going back to the last calm bend in the river and nailing up a sign that reads 'Waterfall Ahead'."

From his first harrowing days at "maths camp" through the dizzying phalanx of core courses, the frenzy of the exam week, the pitfalls and triumphs of the interview process (including a surreal interview with Robert Maxwell!) to being wined and dined by some of the most prestigious companies in the world, Robinson's story is witty, candid and peopled with a remarkable cast of characters.

A must for all aspiring "Masters of the Universe" as well as MBA'ers, Snapshots from Hell is a fast-paced, first-hand account of the nightmare world of getting a top business school MBA.

"A great read."
Business Age

"This book is a must for anyone who is thinking of making an investment of their time or money in an MBA."
