As one of the members of the Arsenal Ship Government team, I was pleased to see the comprehensive and frank insights to the program provided by the book. Rand Corp was hired by the program office at the beginning to document what was a ground-breaking experiment in Navy ship acquisition and they did an outstanding job of capturing the complete story. They pull no punches in describing the program's development, with views from both industry and Government, and the reasons for its ultimate demise. Everyone interested in Naval history will find this a fascinating read.

Is it not too much of a coincidence to have a Jeffery Harrow and a Jeff Harrow authoring the same book ? If it is the Jeff Harrow I know as the indefatigable author of the weekly, "Rapidly Changing face of Computing" journal, it would make very good reading.

This book is absolutely stunning. The photographs are lovely and the text provides invaluable information. This book is an important resource and I highly recommend it.

This problem is very important to my wor

The book is well-documented. Easy to understand graphs and charts are all over the book. It lacks depth, but it skims a number of surface areas very well. Good for school research or intellectual curiosity, but probably redundantly useless for the newspaper professional.

Very beefy topic, chock full of information about this amazing new technology. Could have gone into scatternets in more detail, but overall a good read
