End of the line for one of America's Icons

How did the Big Bell collapse? This book gives you the answer. From the government break up of the monopoly to the sheer ineptitude of its managers this book shows what happened to AT&T. With a solid business model and great strategic options this company was destroyed through egos and debt. It is very well written and gives an excellent glimpse at where telecom and multimedia are heading. Everyday reaffirms the truth that these two will have to merge. This book shows why that is and even though AT&T was unable to pull that off the sense of the company was dead on. Read on if you want to learn not how to run your corporation.

Another one bites the dust

Well written, easy to read. Fascinating look at the executive culture of AT&T and its peers.

End of the Line: The Rise and Fall of AT&T

Not of the same caliber as Ms. Cauley's "Optical Illusions", but a good read nonetheless. If you're not part of the the turbulent telecom industry, this is not your cup of tea. A few innaccuracies here and there, but over all it's got the story correct.

An Odd Perspective

For such a serious subject with grave impact on many shareholders, the author is far too flippant and cavalier. Having read the earlier Brooks book, this carry forward is nowhere near the same quality of verse.

Some factual innaccuracies that could have easily been corroborated however also some interesting material on the very brief Walters reign.
