Thomas E. Ricks offers an utterly new perspective on America’s greatest moral revolution—the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s—and its legacy today. While the Movement has become synonymous with Martin Luther King Jr.’s ethos of nonviolence, Ricks draws on his deep knowledge of tactics and strategy to advance a surprising but revelatory idea: the greatest victories for Black Americans of the past century were won not by idealism alone, but through recruiting, training, discipline, and organization—the hallmarks of any successful military campaign.

Visionär? Genie? Getriebener? Halb Genie, halb Wahnsinniger, Guru, Choleriker und Kontrollfreak - das ist das vorherrschende Bild, das sich die Welt von Steve Jobs gemacht hat. Jobs selbst hat zu Lebzeiten dieses Image gern gepflegt, und seine Biografen sind ihm bereitwillig gefolgt.

Auf Grundlage zahlreicher Gespräche mit Jobs selbst sowie mit engsten Vertrauten und Weggefährten wie Tim Cook oder Bill Gates ist ein ebenso differenziertes wie leidenschaftliches Porträt entstanden, das der Frage nachgeht, wie aus einem ungestümen, jungen Gründer die wichtigste Unternehmerpersönlichkeit unserer Zeit reifen konnte.
