5.0 out of 5 stars An exceptional synthesis of the US Senate's study of Y2k., July 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Senate Special Report on Y2K (Paperback)

After a year of study and hearings, this report by US Senate is the most authoritative statement of the Y2k issue available. These Senators have nothing to gain by overstating the issue, and risk looking silly in a few months if they have overstated it. This report shows where we stood as of February 1999. The informed facts present a far different picture than most expect. This is very worth reading, especially the beginning and end. (Some of the summaries of witness testimony can perhaps be skipped.) The report covers Y2k in utilities, transportation, medicine, etc. Determining why this information was not reported more widely by the media will occupy historians for years, if any of the risks presented by Y2k come to fruition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sobering and frightening expose., July 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Senate Special Report on Y2K (Paperback)

Everyone should read this document. It explains why the Year 2000 problem will impact everyone. It is heartening to see Democrats and Republicans working together on the Senate Y2K Committee for a common cause. Be sure and read the whole thing! If you only read one book about Y2K, read this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly honest and insightful, July 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Senate Special Report on Y2K (Paperback)

The report should be in every home and be read .This book is actually an official document reprinted word for word .An objective , honest analysis of this material would cause a sea change in public opinion reguarding this subject.This bipartisian effort is to be commended.As an engineer and a serious investigator of this subject for over two years I could not recommend this book more highly.This is not a laborious read.It presents the material in a well organised and cogent manner and many readers will have trouble putting this down.Get this book.
