Don't buy this book!

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2009

Verified Purchase

Do not buy this book no matter what! The older version is cheaper and almost identical missing only a list of acronyms in the back which is neither necessary nor required. This book is horribly written as others have already commented. This book has clearly never been edited or read, even by its authors. Misspellings everywhere, sentences that don't make sense and very repetitive. Sad to see a company would publish it.

Defense Budget Text

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2008

The product was in good condition. The text itself is not an easy read. It has too many acronyms which distract from the content. You will end up looking back to figure out what given acronyms stand for andf lose track of the reading.

Time better spent reading a phone book

Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2008

The author is my instructor. He's a super nice guy, genuinely concerned with his students and generally quite humorous. The book, however, is a disaster. Personally, I'd be embarassed to put my name on the cover. There is a ton of unorganized information presented in a rambling of acronyms, run on sentences and long chapters. It's extremely difficult to extract or retain any knowledge at all from this book. Your time will be better spent reading the phone book.
