E-book exclusive: In-text links to the major transcripts, filings, and documents of United States v. Microsoft.



Pride Before the Fall uncovers the secret history of the antitrust trial that shook an economy: United States v. Microsoft. Drawing on years of reporting -- including extensive interviews with Gates and other top Microsoft executives, Justice Department trustbuster Joel Klein, superlitigator David Boies, Intel chief Andy Grove, Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy, and scores of lesser-known but pivotal players -- Heilemann lays bare the chaotic confluence of forces that shattered Microsoft's aura of invincibility and the climate of fear that held an industry in thrall.

Employing e-book technology to its fullest, this PerfectBound edition contains in-text links to the major transcripts, filings, and documents of United States v. Microsoft -- a feature that would be impractical in a standard print book. This feature allows the reader to have direct contact with these extraordinary -- and often astonishing -- documents, including the now-legendary "Deposition of Bill Gates by David Boies (August 27, August 28, and September 2, 1998)."
