SCAMS, SCANDALS, AND SKULDUGGERY by Andreas Schroeder
16 of the world's most outrageous scams and hoaxes. They all really happened and were taken from firsthand accounts, newspaper reports, or historical documents found in public libraries. They date as far back as the late 1800s, but most are more recent. However, you won't find any defrauded widows or orphans in these stories. The victims are institutions or corporations quite capable of defending themselves, and the crooks who match wits with them are just as savvy.

How the wealthiest and most powerful corporation in the world, within a few of the 1980s, threw away advantages built up and kept over decades. IBM was not prepared for PCs. It dominated computers through might rather than innovation. For mainframes this was successful but Apple and Digital, Microsoft and Ross Perot's Electronic Data Systems, stole a march on IBM. This is the human and technical story of IBM's decline towards a $2.8 billion loss in 1991.
