Has anyone here read this book by Edwin Black?

I have. I was wondering what everyone else thought about it.
The book makes me hate things like paper...
I'm not trying to stir anything up here. I don't blame IBM as a company
or dislike any of its products because of it. But reading the book was
sure an eye opening experience. I just wanted to start the discussion
for now. I don't have time right now to write anything decent right now.

I've not read that book, but I have read some of the stories on how IBM
provided machinery to the Nazis.
On the other hand, I've also read some of the stories (MIT Press: IBM's
Early Computers) on how IBM cooperated with the US Department of War,
and how IBM built a lot of neat things to support the US military.
Technology is neutral.
