'Reporting live from the scene, this book is very well timed. It's so current, it's not clear who the winners will be or what form the industry will take, and that makes their book all the more interesting. It's a methodical and disciplined survey of developments, and the authors leave plenty of room for the reader to speculate.' - Sir Terry Leahy, Chief Executive, Tesco plc
