But when their start-up, PayPal, survived the dot.com crash only to find itself besieged by unimaginable challenges, that dream threatened to become a nightmare. PayPal's history -- as told by former insider Eric Jackson -- is an engrossing study of human struggle and perseverance against overwhelming odds. The entrepreneurs that Thiel and Levchin recruited to overhaul world currency markets first had to face some of the greatest trials ever thrown at a Silicon Valley company before they could make internet history. <br><br>Business guru Tom Peters, author of <i>In Search of Excellence</i>, called the hardcover edition of The PayPal Wars "a real page turner" that featured what he called "the best description of business strategy unfolding in a world changing at warp speed." This new paperback edition features updated material and even more insights on the state of internet commerce. 7765 2004 The PayPal Wars: Battles With Ebay, the Media, the Mafia, And the Rest of Planet Earth total:22|5:2|4:11|3:8|2:1| 22 80 45 3 5 0 false false Sat Jan 17 23:55:21 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 00:11:14 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Dec 05 21:32:08 -0800 2006 Tue Dec 05 21:34:23 -0800 2006 5 0 false false Wed Sep 10 14:23:46 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 10 14:24:07 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Oct 26 12:01:52 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 12:01:52 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Sep 28 09:23:52 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 28 09:23:52 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 23 18:17:40 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 18:17:40 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Sep 21 20:00:17 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 21 20:00:20 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Sep 14 22:51:56 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 14 22:51:56 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Aug 29 20:11:34 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 29 20:11:42 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jun 25 03:21:50 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 25 03:21:50 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Jun 23 09:23:26 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 23 09:23:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri May 01 09:07:27 -0700 2009 Fri May 01 09:07:48 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Apr 23 18:39:27 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 23 18:39:27 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Fri Mar 27 06:20:50 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 06:20:50 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Mar 20 11:46:32 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 20 11:46:34 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Mar 02 13:11:17 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 02 13:11:17 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Mar 02 09:59:09 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 02 09:59:09 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jan 21 21:44:52 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 21 21:44:52 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jan 10 11:53:49 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 10 11:53:49 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Dec 24 10:43:13 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 24 10:43:18 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=4052
