In this bestselling work of investigative journalism, Pulitzer Prize winner George Anders presents a behind-the-scenes account of a struggle that rocked Wall Street and stunned the computer industry.

Leading the opposition against her daring plan to rescue the $40 billion-dollar company from declinewhich included the $20 billion acquisition of archrival Compaqwas Walter Hewlett, son of HPs late co-founder and defender of The HP Way. Not since Wall Street operatives battled over the fate of RJR Nabisco had a takeover drama so captivated the media and the public. Drawing on unparalleled access to HP insiders and written with a novelists flair, "Perfect Enough" is a spellbinding chronicle of hope, ambition, betrayal, and family pride.
