Koch industries, an oil, gas and commodities conglomerate based in Wichita, Kansas, is one of the great success stories of American business, with more than 100,000 employees worldwide and annual turnover of around $115 billion. It is also one of its most unusual, in everything from its management techniques to its enthusiasm for political activism to the intensity of the family feuds which have threatened, at times, to tear it apart. Far more is written about the Kochs' political activism-often somewhat hysterically-than about their business. But a new book, Daniel Schulman's "Sons of Wichita", offers a fuller picture.
