Peter Petre

The 'book about a guy who grew up rich and took over his father's company' is usually, at best, boring. This one breaks the mold for four reasons: Thomas Watson conflicted badly with his father creating a natural literary tension, he had his own experiences in WWII worth writing about, he took over the company right as a major revolution was happening in electronic accounting, and he's willing to write about his mistakes.

The guy who helped him write this also helped with Arnold show more Schwarzenegger's book. show less

An apparently honest - right or wrong - description of the tug or war between self and father and son.

I truly enjoyhed reading this. Had it on the book-shelf for many years, before I actually read it. Turned out it was long overdue
