What people on Hacker News said
The PayPal Wars is the story of PayPal's early years from the viewpoint of former PayPal marketing executive, Eric Jackson. I found it a riveting read on the trials and tribulations of a startup in a difficult market.
Gives insight about the company from it's beginning to IPO.
Paypal Wars - old book but still very informative and relevant
