Apple Fired The Only Man Who Believed In It

Apple's story has been told wrong for forty years. Steve Jobs built the company from a garage with $1,300, took it public in a single day that created more millionaires than any American company since Ford, and recruited the man who would orchestrate his removal — personally. In May 1985, that man stood at the head of a boardroom table and said eleven words that ended everything.
