Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - A Real Political Thriller
This book reads like a John Grisham novel, except that all of it really happened. Coll is able to take the largest anti-trust litigation in history, against the largest corporation in the world, and make the subject not only interesting but edge-of-your-seat thrilling.

I very first read this 13 years ago when I started in telecom, and am re-reading it now in light of recent events. The book is not only as good as I remembered it, it's better. And the repercussions of the Ma Bell breakup are still very much with us today.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - The most indepth accurate detail of the breakup and why..
This is the book AT&T never wanted to go to press and when it did AT&T seceretly bought up all the copies they could.Good luck finding someone who will lend you a copy because you can't buy it anywhere, at any price.Not even AMAZON. AT&T will cut their phone lines if they actually made this book available.THE TRUTH- AT&T doesn't want you to know about. FACTUAL ACCOUNT, GREAT READ!



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - If you want to learn about telecom, this is the source.
As an MBA student interested in telecom, I found this book to be among the best sources of information about telecom regulation. It provides rich detail but is also very readable and only gets technical when necessary.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - History of breakup of AT&T
Prior to interviewing with a Baby Bell Company, I read The Dealof theCentury. It was not only informative but fascinating. I was able to get a flavor of the personalities involved and internal squabbles that shaped the "deal" involving AT&T. This book is required reading for anybody who wants to understand how we got where we are yesterday in telecommunications. By the way, I got the job.
