A History of Oracle
The Story of a Global Company

Book Details
About this book:

A History of Oracle From a scrappy startup funded by a CIA contract to a global juggernaut that powers the world’s most critical data, *A History of Oracle* is the definitive account of one of tech’s most audacious and controversial empires. This book takes you inside the early database wars against IBM and Sybase, the relentless acquisition spree that swallowed PeopleSoft and Siebel, and the high-stakes battle to catch up in the cloud against AWS and Azure. Through it all, you’ll witness the unflinching vision—and sometimes ruthless ambition—of Larry Ellison, whose leadership turned a relational database gamble into a cornerstone of modern enterprise.

But Oracle’s story isn’t just about products and profits—it’s about the tectonic shifts that reshaped how businesses manage data, the ethical debates over privacy and monopoly, and the company’s expansion into new frontiers like autonomous databases, AI, and global markets in India and China. Whether you’re a tech veteran, a business strategist, or simply fascinated by the personalities behind Silicon Valley’s giants, this deeply researched narrative offers the complete, unvarnished portrait of a company that didn’t just ride the waves of disruption—it made them.
