About This Item
First Edition of this "exciting history of the rise of the American computer industry." (The Washington Post). Signed by Thomas Watson on the title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket.
In this eloquent first-person account of a family drama that changed the face of American business, the man who transformed IBM into the world's largest computer company reflects on his lifelong partnership with his father--and how their management style and shared dedication to excellence united to create a unique corporate culture that became the blueprint for the entire technology boom. "A frank and revealing picture of Big Blue -- and a vivid inside look at the family that dominated its years of spectacular growth." (The Boston Globe).
