1 out of 5 stars Tired Simplifications and Dirt-Dishing   January 12, 2008
"Overnight Success" will not provide readers useful ideas on how to create a very large corporation from scratch, nor how to innovate and maintain success after the initial start-up.

Read something else.

if you're looking for an insightful business-case history of the start of Fedex. Fred Smith and Fedex gave no assistance to Trimble, and the lack of those valuable sources show throughout the book.

I inferred that this refusal of help was because of the extensive support of "Absolutely Positively Overnight!: The Story of Federal Express" by Sigafoos, and the controversial result.

Bottom line: If you're interested in learning about Fedex from inception to the early 80's, I'd go for Sigafoos book (though right now it's ~$100) and ignore this one completely.
