THE EVERYTHING WAR : AMAZON’S RUTHLESS QUEST TO OWN THE WORLD AND REMAKE CORPORATE POWER

BY DANA MATTIOLI

HBK, TRANSWORLD, £22

This is a devastating exposé of Amazon's endless strategic greed, its pursuit of total domination, by any means necessary, and the growing efforts to stop it.  In 2023, the Federal Trade Commission filed a monopoly lawsuit against Amazon in what may become one of the largest antitrust cases in the 21st century.

As Amazon’s supremacy is finally challenged, "The Everything War" is the definitive, inside story of how it grew into one of the most powerful and feared companies in the world and why this is the most consequential business story of our times.
