It chronicles the whole Eisner era from Miller's ousting to Iger's succession. If anyone is interested in this type of corporate Disney history, give Disney Wars by James Stewart a read.

One that jumped out is the claim that "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" was Touchstone's first big success. It wasn't; "Splash" was. Granted, "Splash" had no animation element, but it was what kicked off the revitalization of Disney's film industry. Incidentally, Ron Miller had been pushing for Disney to make more adult-oriented films and fewer "Herbie Goes to Nicaragua" sequels for some time, but nothing happened there until Eisner came on board.
