This is the business story of our time. -- Christopher Leonard * New York Times Bestselling Author of Kochland and The Lords of Easy Money * An unflinching expose of thuggish strategies employed by Amazon—tactics that not only hobble competitors, exploit paying customers, but also cripple aspiring start-ups that make the mistake of sharing product secrets, only to find Amazon knock-offs sold on the consumer monolith’s website -- Jacquie McNish * co-author of Losing the Signal: The Untold Story Behind the Extraordinary Rise and Spectacular Fall of BlackBerry * Dana Mattioli’s The Everything War is a masterful expose of a corporate leviathan’s relentless drive for power.

You will never look at those little cardboard boxes on your doorstep the same way again. -- Zeke Faux * author of Number Go Up * Riveting, shocking, and full of revelations, The Everything War is the thrilling account of how Amazon redefined corporate power, and did so with a single minded focus on rolling over the competition in its pursuit for dominance.
