Does anyone know similar books? I. e. about the history of a company from an insider's perspective?

Not sure it's exactly what you're looking for, but I really liked:

- The Making of Prince of Persia - Jordan Mechner - Masters of Doom - David Kushner. - Founders at Work - Jessica Livingston (aggregate of stories)

Pretty cool in different ways:

- The first shows how the author documented a good chunk of the process (like solving the problem of the Prince's alter ego).

- The second by the journalistic work the author went through and access he had.

- The third by the context it gives on many things (for example, you get a glimpse on Palantir's current work by looking into Paypal's history and the work Max Levchin, CTO at the time, and his team did on fraud detection, or Hotmail's growth tactics).
