Friends in High Places: The Bechtel Story: The Most Secret Corporation and How It Engineered the World is a nonfiction corporate history by Laton McCartney, first published in the late 1980s. The book examines Bechtel Corporation, one of the largest and most influential private engineering and construction firms in the United States, and uses that company as a lens for understanding the relationship between private industry, large-scale infrastructure, government contracts, and global development. Rather than offering a standard business profile, the book is built around the idea that Bechtel operated with unusual secrecy while helping shape major public works and industrial projects around the world. Its purpose is both historical and investigative: it traces how a private corporation could gain enormous reach through technical expertise, long-term political ties, and participation in strategically important projects. As a result, the book sits at the intersection of business journalism, corporate biography, and public-interest reporting.
