Harry McCracken
FAST COMPANY
“3Com’s innovations helped create the world we live in. I thought I knew its story, but there’s so much more to it—and this book has every up, down, twist, and turn.”
Rob Enderle
THE ENDERLE GROUP
“3Com is a showcase of success and failure, of a legend that tried to be something bigger but lost its way instead. Chase and Zilber offer a look into the exhilaration and magic of innovation as well as
the dark heart of Silicon Valley, where the machinations of executives make Game of Thrones look tame by comparison.”
Keith Raffel
STARTUP CEO & BESTSELLING NOVELIST
“In this era of brashness and arrogance, 3Com reminds us that while technology can be the basis for a startup, it's people who make it go—or don’t.”

"As you’re reading the 3Com story, if you feel like the landscape dramatically shifted while you blinked, that’s because it did. Imagine you’re on a scenic tour, and your guide says 'The first part of the journey will be on horse-drawn carriage, then we'll get into a car, then an airplane, and the final leg of our journey will be in a submarine. If everything looks completely different when you look out the window, don't panic — it's supposed to.'"
