On: Ask HN: What are more books like “Masters of Doom” or “Showstoppers”?

Accidental Empires is probably THE classic, absolutely worth a read.

I also enjoyed "Dealers of Lightning: Xerox PARC and the Dawn of the Computer Age" by Michael Hiltzik and "Showstopper! The Breakneck Race to Create Windows NT and the Next Generation at Microsoft" by G. Pascal Zachary
