The Everything War Amazon's Ruthless Quest to Own the World and Remake Corporate Power

From veteran Amazon reporter for the Wall Street Journal Dana Mattioli, The Everything War is the first untold expose of Amazon's endless strategic greed, from destroying main street to remaking corporate power, in pursuit of total domination?, by any means necessary.

Amazon is a behemoth in the truest sense of the word. It might be synonymous with shopping, but the company now dominates a dozen industries beyond retail. As it turns out, the Amazon that Jeff Bezos invented is fundamentally driven by a competitive edge that will stop at nothing —if Amazon could own the world and be everywhere, it would. Currently, the company is under investigation in Congress, at the Federal Trade Commission, Department of Justice, and the European Union for potential anticompetitive business practices. In The Everything War, award-winning Wall Street Journal reporter Dana Mattioli follows this unfolding battle, exploring the infamous rise of Bezos and exposing how Amazon has become too big for antitrust investigators to ignore.

While Amazon's business practices grow to monopolistic proportions, the government is quickly discovering that Amazon is an adversary unlike any they have ever faced. Using meticulous reporting, Mattioli reveals how Jeff Bezos learned to leverage his power in Corporate America, preparing for this fight he always knew would come. This book unveils a side of Amazon, and its leader, that has never been told before: its ruthless, competitive, killer instinct to destroy everything in its wake for dominance.

Amazon's rise to supremacy is reaching a boiling point, and now squarely in the crosshairs of both US and international governments looking into its practices. Mattioli's The Everything War broaches this question: has the company become too powerful— and too enmeshed with national interests— to stop?
