'WORK IN THE SEMICONDUCTOR BUSINESS? IN CALIFORNIA? FOR INTEL? TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO PAY! A LEG? YOU GOT IT!'

Intel Corporation was just two years old when it released the world's first microprocessor. Today, nearly thirty years on, it can boast almost complete domination of the microprocessor industry. Its remarkable achievements are the product of not only the most talented engineers but of almost legendary company policies that strictly monitor employee performance, loyalty and security.

Tim Jackson follows the rise of one of America's most powerful and successful companies, from its early days as a haven of scientific creativity through a period of booming profits when its memory chips took the mainframe computer industry by storm. He describes Intel's ruthless determination to quash competition and its brilliant ability to transform itself from innovator to supplier to cultivator of new technologies firmly placed to meet the challenges of the internet and the global market.

‘A brave and informative book… Mr Jackson is to be congratulated for writing the first serious study of Intel – and for setting standards of investigative zeal and courage under fire against which future students of Silicon Valley will be judged.
