Garner’s Book is a Treasure Trove for Fans or Sam
Revisado: 08-26-20
I have always appreciated everything that Garner has done to preserve the legacy of Sam Peckinpah since I watched the documentary he made with Nick Redman that takes its name from this book. That documentary is available as an extra on The Wild Bunch Blu-ray. This audiobook is fantastically done and presents a deep understanding of Peckinpah from those who knew him the best. Jason Culp capably reproduces the voices of the many people interviewed. I can’t recommend this highly enough!

One of the most acclaimed books of our time - the definitive Vietnam War exposé and the winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. When he came to Vietnam in 1962, Lieutenant Colonel John Paul Vann was the one clear-sighted participant in an enterprise riddled with arrogance and self-deception, a charismatic soldier who put his life and career on the line in an attempt to convince his superiors that the war should be fought another way. By the time he died in 1972, Vann had embraced the follies he once decried. He died believing that the war had been won.

A Sweeping Heartbreaking Account

This is an incredibly long and detailed book that encapsulates the Vietnam conflict while also focusing on a key figure in the war - John Paul Vann. It’s an amazing book but like many history books it takes dedication to see it all the way through. Highly recommended. It is beautifully written and unquestionably sad.

Developing and implementing a strategy is the central task of a leader, whether the CEO at a Fortune 100 company, an entrepreneur, a church pastor, the head of a school, or a government official. Richard Rumelt argues that the heart of a good strategy is insight - into the true nature of the situation, into the hidden power in a situation, and into an appropriate response. He shows you how insight can be cultivated with a wide variety of tools for guiding your own thinking.

One of the Best Business Books of All Time
Revisado: 08-06-18
I rarely write reviews but this book is absolutely phenomenal. If you own your own business, this book is well worth your time. I have recommended this book to nearly every person I know and will continue to do so. I have read probably a hundred business books, and this is the best one so far.

The solution in each case was a focus on customer experience, the most powerful - and misunderstood - element of corporate strategy today. Customer experience is, quite simply, how your customers perceive their every interaction with your company. It’s a fundamental business driver. Here’s proof: over a recent five-year period during which the S&P 500 was flat, a stock portfolio of customer experience leaders grew 22 percent.

This is one of those books that never quite elevated itself off of the page. There is not much to learn here and it manages to be really dry while not very informative. I recommend skipping this one. The authors tried their best but it is pretty lame.

What drug lords learned from big business. How does a budding cartel boss succeed (and survive) in the $300 billion illegal drug business? By learning from the best, of course. From creating brand value to fine-tuning customer service, the folks running cartels have been attentive students of the strategy and tactics used by corporations such as Walmart, McDonald's, and Coca-Cola.

Excellent book.

Great fact based analysis of the war on drugs and its inefficiencies. It can be slightly repetitive, but overwhelms with the amount of information on display.
