 'Brad Stone's definitive book   on Amazon and Bezos' The Guardian

'A masterclass in deeply   researched investigative financial journalism . . . riveting' The Times

The definitive story of the   largest and most influential company in the world and the man whose drive and   determination changed business forever.

Though Amazon.com started off   delivering books through the mail, its visionary founder, Jeff Bezos, was   never content with being just a bookseller. He wanted Amazon to become 'the   everything store', offering limitless selection and seductive convenience at   disruptively low prices. To achieve that end, he developed a corporate   culture of relentless ambition and secrecy that's never been cracked. Until   now...

Jeff Bezos stands out for his   relentless pursuit of new markets, leading Amazon into risky new ventures   like the Kindle and cloud computing, and transforming retail in the same way   that Henry Ford revolutionised manufacturing.
Amazon placed one of the first   and largest bets on the Internet. Nothing would ever be the same again.
