A ground breaking biography of Thomas J Watson, founder of IBM and one of the greatest characters in history, often called the father of the technological revolution. This important book will be the first complete business biography of Watson, derived with the cooperation of the Watson family, and from exclusive access to IBM's Watson archives and 340 boxes of Watson's personal papers. These uncovered documents reveal new information about how Watson bet the company in the 1920s on tabulating machines - the forerunners to computers - and how he daringly beat the Great Depression of the 1930s. They also lead to new insights concerning the controversy that has followed Watson: his supposed collusion with Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime.
