High Quality Book.......2006-08-06

In a highly competitive operating environment in which we live, it is often difficult for a company to raise prices, unless it can differentiate its products and services in such a way that customers are prepared to pay a premium price. Even then it is necessary to produce the best value at optimal costs.

Most companies are price takers and the only area that they have control may be their costs. This is where this book is very handy and it provides managers with effective techniques and tools that they can employ to control and manage costs. The book shows that all departments can adopt best practices to ensure that their costs structures are optimal. Other areas to target for cost control include outsourcing, rightsizing organisations, the use of consultants and elsewhere.

This is an excellent book that is essential reading for all managers who need to learn the techniques, strategies and best practices in reducing costs for organisations. The author reinforces their well presented arguments, proposals and solutions with case studies and real examples that should assist managers in implementing the tips that they would have learnt.

AMAZING!.......2000-09-06

AMAZING!!! That is the only word that could describe this book. It's well made, easy to read, and highly interesting. The bounding is permanent plus it's three hole punched - a very hard to find feature!

The words date, Experiment, Name, Lab Partner, and Witness are very easy to read.

Plus, it comes with a foreward that has to do with Safety in the Laborartory. It's highly interesting - perfect reading for a Friday or Saturday night!

Genious...Mad Genious!!!!.......2005-05-11

Doc, You overdid yourself. I am hooked. Already have the second book, and can't wait to get started. You are one of the great minds of this day. Loved reading your book...multiple times...and surely again real soon. Looking forward to the sequel and hopefully a trilogy!!!!

Great Book - Want More.......2003-11-14

Great book! How can I add anything to that? Best thing is that I can read it again and again but I need more. Yo! Mr. Haley, we need another book real soon. I have worn this one out reading it for the tenth time. Talking with a friend in LA and the rumor is that the big boys have been looking this over for either a movie or TV sitcom. Hope both are true! More rumors are that you have at least six more books coming out. When will they be here? Please hurry! Harry O

The Last Ferry To Clover Bay.......2003-08-12

It was one of those books that once I started reading it was difficult to put down. I enjoyed the characters that Wayne created and how they functioned together. Enjoyable content, I recommend it for fun reading great entertainment.

The Last Ferry to Clover Bay.......2003-06-14

The entire family loved this book. It kept you captive from start to end. I didn't want to put it down (just had to know what was going to happen next). I'm only sorry it took me so long to place my review because I truelly enjoyed this book. I am anticipating the release of the next book.

The Best Book in Recent Memory.......2002-11-05

Wow, what a wonderful and great book! I really did not want to read another new hopeful author but for a promise to a close associate I determined to give it a quick perusal. So out of obligation, I finally picked it up and could not put it down. After placing several inquiring to noted colleagues in New York and Hollywood, I learned that the author has several other books out there to be published and this one to become a movie soon. My sources say that he is the hottest new author in years. I look forward to the other books and the movie. Haley is certainly in a league of his own. I am now a fan for life.

Book Description

In 1961 US Special Forces units began entering remote areas of Vietnam dominated by the Viet Cong. Their task was to organize local defense and strike forces aimed at stopping the enemy from gaining further control of such areas. The Green Berets set up fortified camps from which indigenous troops defended local villages and attacked and harassed the enemy. How these camps were constructed, developed, and defended is documented here for the first time. This book also covers the weapons, barriers, and obstacles used in these camps, providing specific examples of camp design, and details how they withstood the test of battle against a determined and resourceful enemy.

A unique and informative work.......2007-05-05

I have looked for such a publication for many years. The descriptions are vivid and detailed. It is an excellent reference for those interested in the history of the conflict as well as for modelers and wargaming enthusiasts. My only complaint is that I would have gladly paid more for a larger publication with many more pictures and illustrations. Heartily recommended.
