Defense Budget Text, 2008-03-01
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, 2008-02-13
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.
