Brad Stone (Get this book) Fair-minded, virtually up-to-the-minute history of the retail and technology behemoth and the prodigious brain behind it. In addition to speaking to Bezos several times over the years, including an interview for this book, Stone also spoke with employees across all levels of the company, from C-level officers and software developers to fulfillment center "associates," including many who have moved on. The author's research, which also included access to volumes of emails and other internal documents, revealed an extraordinarily difficult corporate culture for ordinary human beings to work in, one designed to forge (but not necessarily reward) people able to think like Bezos. A must-add to any business bookshelf.--Kirkus
