The most indepth accurate detail of the breakup and why..

This is the book AT&T never wanted to go to press and when it did AT&T seceretly bought up all the copies they could.Good luck finding someone who will lend you a copy because you can't buy it anywhere, at any price.Not even AMAZON. AT&T will cut their phone lines if they actually made this book available.THE TRUTH- AT&T doesn't want you to know about. FACTUAL ACCOUNT, GREAT READ!

History of breakup of AT&T

Prior to interviewing with a Baby Bell Company, I read The Dealof the Century. It was not only informative but fascinating. I was able to get a flavor of the personalities involved and internal squabbles that shaped the "deal" involving AT&T. This book is required reading for anybody who wants to understand how we got where we are today in telecommunications. By the way, I got the job.

If you want to learn about telecom, this is the source.

As an MBA student interested in telecom, I found this book to be among the best sources of information about telecom regulation. It provides rich detail but is also very readable and only gets technical when necessary.

A Real Political Thriller

This book reads like a John Grisham novel, except that all of it really happened. Coll is able to take the largest anti-trust litigation in history, against the largest corporation in the world, and make the subject not only interesting but edge-of-your-seat thrilling.

I first read this 13 years ago when I started in telecom, and am re-reading it now in light of recent events. The book is not only as good as I remembered it, it's better. And the repercussions of the Ma Bell breakup are still very much with us today.
