http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/63288513

Following a brief overview of his background, Walden traces his involvement with the ARPANET, from discussions before the original Advanced Research Projects Agency request was issued to his later management of the project at Bolt, Beranek and Newman (BBN). He discusses the people involved in the ARPANET work at BBN and how they were influenced by their previous work developing real-time computer systems at Lincoln Laboratory. Walden describes the working environment of the group at BBN and their relationships with the Information Processing Techniques Office, other Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency contractors, and the larger community.
