Overview

Step behind the glass walls and corporate smiles of one of the world's largest multinational chemical corporations Union Carbide and witness the true story of how internal greed, unchecked power, and ethical decay brought a global giant to its knees.Inside the Empire is a riveting firsthand account by Thomas Thorndike, a former U.S. Treasury Special Agent turned corporate investigator, who was hired as Union Carbide's Manager of Special Investigations at the height of its global power. Tasked with rooting out fraud, theft, and embezzlement across a company with over 122,000 employees and 1,000 locations worldwide, Thorndike uncovers a staggering pattern of internal crimes orchestrated by the very people entrusted to lead.From corporate headquarters in Connecticut to satellite offices in Australia, Nigeria, Singapore, and Paris, Thorndike reveals how high-ranking executives manipulated financial systems, abused power, and traded ethics for personal gain. His investigations read like a white-collar crime thriller full of confessions, cover-ups, sting operations, and a trail of misconduct that eventually leads to the devastating Bhopal disaster.More than just a memoir of corporate misdeeds, this book is a cautionary tale about what happens when profits overshadow principles, and leadership fails to lead. Written with unflinching honesty and insider knowledge, Inside the Empire offers a rare look into the machinery of a corporate empire and the silent collapse that followed.
