Descripción de contraportada
"A timely and authoritative biography. Without lapsing into hero worship, [Maney] presents a great, if flawed, man in all his humanity."
-BusinessWeek
"A . . . lively and nuanced picture of the senior Watson. [It] brings this complex man to life and provides a clearer sense of how the IBM culture took shape around one man's quirks, preferences, and iron whims."
-The New York Times
"The author's delightful anecdotes showcase the quirky, human side of what became a major knowledge-based company."
-Harvard Business Review
"Should be recommended reading for anyone who seriously wants to be a business mogul."
-The Economist
"Formidable in its research, vivid, insightful, and often hilarious."
-Management Today
"Should hold great appeal not only for avid business readers but also for devotees of the vicissitudes of financial dynasties."
-Publishers Weekly
"The gripping story of sky-high ambition, iron willpower, huge bet-the-company gambles, humiliating failure, and unparalleled success-one of the best books ever written about the technology industry, about one of the most fascinating people in twentieth-century America."
-Marc Andreessen, Cofounder of Opsware, Inc. and Netscape
