One reviewer writes:

"[The book] chronicles the transformation of IBM into a computer company in a remarkably few years, discussing projects that ended in frustration as well as the more successful ones, and providing a sense of the atmosphere, the people, and the decision-makin...g processes involved during the company's rapid technological transformation. [This] unique contribution to the modern history of computers . . . focuses on engineering alternatives rather than business and general management considerations and reveals the significance of imaginative solutions to problems in design and technology, from initial experiments with electronics in digital machines to the threshold of the System 360 era. . . .The book's fourteen chapters briefly survey the card machine era and then cover electronic calculation, the magnetic drum calculator, the Defense Calculator and other first-generation products, ferrite core memories, magnetic tape, and disk storage development, programming, transistors, 'Project Stretch' (which involved disappointments but led to one of IBM's greatest successes) high-speed printers, research, and new-product-line considerations. "
