Clarke details the history and marketing of Mcdonalds that has made it the golden arched beast that we know today. Not only how they became so successful but how they maintained that success. She also touches on McDonalds' slogans, their on and off relationship with Disney and their run in with fraud.

Starting in the early 1900's there has been several 'cod wars' between Iceland and the United Kingdom, fighting over the desirable waters that sit between the two countries.
