Amazon Unbound

Amazon Unbound follows the company's rise from a retail upstart to one of the most powerful and feared forces in the global economy. Brad Stone, who also wrote The Everything Store, builds the account through deep reporting and an unvarnished look at the company's unprecedented growth.

The book is also a portrait of founder Jeff Bezos. He began as a geeky technologist wholly devoted to building Amazon, and became a fit, disciplined billionaire with global ambitions. Stone examines how Bezos ruled the company with an iron fist even as his personal life became tabloid fodder.
