Andy Grove: The Life and Times of an American

This appears to be out of print. I read it a long time ago when it was new. I enjoyed the book.

One of the things that I remember from it was how Intel really overestimated how quickly video calls would take off. They thought that video calls would be the "killer app" for desktop computers in the late 1990s / early 2000s.

For those who are interested in knowing more about Andy Grove and the early days of Intel, I highly recommend Tedlow's biography. Of all the biographies or business histories I've read, I can't think of one which does a better job of making you feel like you're hanging out with him, hearing his war stories, and getting a real feel for what kind of guy he was and what drove him and his company to success.
