Description: Perkins--renowned venture capitalist, Silicon Valley and biotechnology pioneer, and one of America's most successful businessmen--recalls fascinating episodes of his life, from his marriage to Danielle Steel to being tried for manslaughter in a backwater French town.
Review Quotes: ?[Perkins] sews dry humor through tales of yachting triumphs, road rallies in expensive cars, tech start-ups and the boardroom coup he instigated at Hewlett Packard. Looking back without rancor or remorse, [he] has a knack for storytelling that makes him feel like a buddy who never fails to laugh at himself.?
