Recounts the policy struggles, internal and external, that led to the divestiture of upwards of two thirds of AT&T's assets and to the imminent breakup of the "biggest company on earth. " Von Auw was witness to more than a dozen years of the strategic deliberatioins of a management confronted with the need to adapt a business more than a century old to radically changed national telecommunications policies and the demands of a rapidly changing marketplace. This book provides unique insights on the contending forces, ideological and commerical, that produced one of the most dramatic events in U. S. business history.
