The main purpose for reading this book when I started was to learn about the history of IBM. This book does contain a lot of information about IBM to serve this purpose but what I found more interesting was the life of Thomas J. Watson Jr. outside IBM. I loved reading his WWII experience in Soviet Union and China and his adventures to the Arctic after retirement. His short career as ambassador to Soviet Union was also pretty interesting. Overall I enjoyed reading this book much more than I expected.
