Bob Chapek expounds at length about his termination from Disney and his belief that ex-CEO Bob Iger stabbed him in the back in his forthcoming book, “Behind the Castle Walls.”

Chapek, in recounting his 30-year career at the Mouse House, also offers a number of other revelations in the memoir. Variety obtained an advance copy of the book.

“This is the story of how I fought and scraped and bled and worked my way into the top position of the Magic Kingdom, the places I shaped, and the forces I encountered along the journey,” Chapek writes in the book’s introduction.
