A business book that delivers a rollicking good read."-- "Chicago Tribune""Glorious. [Kaplan's] prologue alone is a must-read." -- "USA Today""Does for the high-tech hierarchy of Silicon Valley what Connie Bruck did so brilliantly for Boesky, Mike Milken and the rest of the '80s Wall Street crowd in "The Predators' Ball."
