Customer Reviews
Excellent source of history and insights, a worthy tribute
This is the most polished of the three books I’ve read. The progression is easier to follow and the extensive interviews and background information is impressive. This quote towards the end succinctly sums up the heart of the problem: “We were trying to look more like Apples and IBMs than the Commodores”.
