Ross Laver does an admirable job of trying to put ten years of chaos in context. He's a little too kind to Mike and his idiotic band of senior yes-men. In particular he fails to highlight the fact that most of his senior people are totally unsuited for their positions.

The words that sum up this book is "gross negligence". If it were to be sold and another if and this is the big if, people were wiling to spend the dollars to buy it, I can tell you from the corn cob that there is tons and tons of manure on this one. There is just too much deliberation on personal items that make this book akin to something you would find in the junk book isles or they might sell at the grocer check-out counters. Maybe ask Ross Laver what type of text editor he uses on his computer or is it even a PC. More fun reading a National Enquirer issue, now you know that will be the truth. I could not say enough bad things about the book an/or the author. This being the way, you will notice only four reviews. Not Recommended
