Review
"Most industry leaders have their share of dirty laundry. Jackson does an admirable job of airing Intel's in a fascinating yarn."--Jeffrey Mann, Wired
"Lively, accessible, and informative... A first-rate anecdotal briefing on a consequential supplier of small wonders that are at the heart of a latter-day industrial revolution."--Kirkus Reviews "Excellent... well-written and -documented."--Library JournalFrom the Back Cover
It is December 1994. Intel Corporation is under fire from the world's media for mishandling a flaw in their flagship Pentium processor. Andy Grove, the company's chief executive, faces a stark choice. Should he write off half a billion dollars and offer free replacements to all customers? Or should he continue to insist that the customers are wrong about Pentium, and risk destroying the company's public image?
Intel exerts industrial muscle on the same scale as Microsoft, yet its customers and PC users have little idea of the realities that lie behind its much-promoted logo. Its technical triumphs are matched by aggressive marketing and by millions spent on lawsuits to preserve its dominance and its secrets.
Founded by two of Silicon Valley's most gifted engineers, Intel has been run for most of its history by Grove, a brilliant and hard-driving scientist who fled communist Hungary and waited at tables to put himself through college in New York. With the motto that only the paranoid survive, Grove has moulded Intel in his own image, and built it into one of the most powerful and successful companies in America.
The Pentium incident is by no means the only drama in Intel's history. As the company finds itself dragged into the limelight by its own consumer marketing, this book tells for the first time the gripping human story of the triumphs, ideas and rivalries that have brought riches to Intel's founders, and have turned the personal computer into a tool on everyone's desk.
Brilliantly written, with an extraordinary grasp of its material, 'Inside Intel' has all the dramatic tension of a first-rate thriller, and establishes Tim Jackson alongside Bryan Burrough and Michael Lewis as one of the best contemporary business writers.

Hardback. Condition: Good. Named a Best Business Book by Business Week, Inside Intel is the gripping business saga of a company that rose to dominance through technological innovation, and maintained its leadership against competitors through aggressive marketing, tough business tactics, and liberal use of legal firepower. In his in-depth portrait of Intel, the first history/expose of the company, former Financial Times columnist Tim Jackson reveals that Intel's corporate culture is determinedly secretive and authoritarian, and the company retains its own force of private investigators to prevent its employees from going astray. Intel routinely uses the threat of lawsuits against workers and rivals. At the center of this story is Andy Grove, Intel's high-profile CEO and chairman, once a penniless immigrant who waited tables to put himself through college. It is Grove who has made the unpopular decisions which have kept Intel at the top of the chip market. Exhaustively researched from court records, unpublished documents, and interviews with Intel's competitors, partners, and past and present employees, Jackson traces the company's spectacular failures and successes, as well as the powerful human struggles that have made Intel one of the most competitive players in a high-stakes game.
