I am reading There Must Be a Pony in Here Somewhere which is writer Kara Swisher's take on the AOL-Time Warner Merger (Debacle). It is a remarkable book. She has a keen understanding of the hype of the tech bubble, the hubris of Case and Levin and others, the lack of touch with the Main Street Media, and the interactions of some remarkably improbable personalities. What's more she puts it in an entertaining fashion that makes a great story. Had I not been one of the shareholders that was screwed by the deal (I hate big mergers) it would be even better.
You can find it at Amazon (also in paperback) - it would make a great Christmas gift for anyone in your life who is interested in technology or mergers or life!
