In this bestselling work of investigative journalism,
Pulitzer Prize winner George Anders presents a
behind-the-scenes account of a struggle that rocked Wall
Street and stunned the computer industry.
When Carly
Fiorina took command of Hewlett-Packard in 1999, she was
venturing further than any woman previously had into
traditional men’s territory. Leading the opposition against
her daring plan to rescue the $40 billion-dollar company
from decline—which included the $20 billion acquisition of
archrival Compaq—was Walter Hewlett, son of HP’s late
co-founder and defender of "The HP Way." Not since Wall
Street operatives battled over the fate of RJR Nabisco had a
takeover drama so captivated the media and the public.
Drawing on unparalleled access to HP insiders and
written with a novelist’s flair, Perfect Enough is a
spellbinding chronicle of hope, ambition, betrayal, and
family pride.
