Charles Dryden's book forces people to see the trials and tribulations encountered by black servicemen and women during WWII. I was shocked to read about the different encounters with 'Jim Crow' that Dryden and his peers waded through during their service years. A must for anybody curious about WWII, the Tuskegee Airmen or about the fight for civil rights in America.

I meet Col. Dryden when he gave a talk about his experiences and his book. I then read the book a felt a tremendous respect for the author and all the Tuskeegee Airmen. Col. Dryden tells his personal story in a way that made me feel as though I was there with him the whole time. The challanges of blacks in America in his story left a powerful impact on me, the courage the author displayed is an insperation. A-Train is very well written and reads easily. It is an powerful story that left me feeling inadequate and ashamed to be white. I had the oportunity to meet Col. Dryden again and sought him out just to shake his hand again, knowing him from his book, it was hard to hide my emotions.

Every young African American boy should read this book. It is an inspiration.

Mastering Todays Software: Microsoft Word 97

I find that, at least in the UK, although there are many books which deal with Word 97, there are very few which are suitable for a short course - I have not seen more than 5. This is possibly the best of the books which are in a handy size. But this series is expensive at £16 per copy, if a student has to buy an individual copy for each package of Office 97.

Great book. Complete and clear. We can use this book for our daily work. Complete with exercise and tests. This book is also for people emphasinzing personal selling. Some issues: Sales careers, Ethics, Global selling,Teams, Leaderships, Industry examples.
