If you’re looking for a book on a company I really enjoyed power failure and smartest guys in the room which are about the failures of GE and Enron. If you’re looking for one about a business turn around American Icon is good about Alan Mullaly. If you’re a male around my age Nitro is fun, about WCW and lastly if you’re looking for something about marketing and video games Console Wars is good about Sega in the 16 bit era.
