Dot.bomb. 
There have been plenty
of books covering the bursting of the dot.com bubble, but this one of the
few to cover the impact in the UK, which in some ways was more dramatic that
the US. The number of companies was much smaller, but the whole thing was
compacted into little more than a year, so the rise and fall was even more
dramatic. Some of the names you will see have still survived - others are
long gone. Rory Cellan-Jones, BBC TV's industry correspondent does a
workman-like job - it could have been a little more exciting, but still is
perfectly readable. If you want to get the in-depth feel of the most
dramatic crash of them all, see boo hoo, but
otherwise, this is the one to buy. Not available in
the US, but only costs a few dollars to have sent across from the UK. New 26
November 2002.

The Last Days of the
Beeb.

The BBC is a ready target for attack, and this book pulls no punches in portraying
the flabby monster it had become in the mid-eighties. Since the book was written, the BBC
has gone through major changes, and some of the forward looking parts of the book seem
more wishful thinking than likely, but even so it's a great portrayal of how a dinosaur
organisation operated.
John Vidal
McLibel.

The story of the longest ever court case in Britain is fascinating both for its
David versus Goliath portrayal and the amazing endurance of those involved. From the
business viewpoint there are some excellent lessons in how not to handle criticism. And
there are interesting (if not always sympathetic) people too. What more could you ask?
