High Noon

"High Noon is the inside story of Sun's rise to power, from its shaky start in Silicon Valley through its transformation under the aggressive and inspirational leadership of McNealy. Karen Southwick reveals the behind-the-scenes maneuverings of McNealy and Sun, with candid interviews from the key players and insights into the inner workings of the high-tech industry." "This book examines how scrappy underdog Sun overcame its larger and supposedly tougher competitors, combining hard work, tenacity, and talented people to build a more innovative and flexible company. You'll learn how McNealy moved Sun up the industry food chain, challenging more established companies like Hewlet-Packard and Digital Equipment by expanding Sun's product line and refocusing the business."--Jacket.

First sentence: Like the musical genius of a Mozart or a Gershwin, entrepreneurial ability often manifests itself very early in life.
