The Ugly American
by Eugene Burdick, William J. Lederer

Daringly Truthful This book tells of what really happened during the cold war years in east asia, in an entertaining, fictional 1st person prospective. In case you didn't know, this was almost a banned book because it (accurately) told of how the communists underhanded us and drove us out of the east. This book is actually a compilation of stories with such things as incompetent men coming to power, and intelligent people being pushed out. Though all the stories intertwine to show how we lost that part of the cold war
- A reader from Michigan , August 5, 1999

Must reading for any American! The Ugly American is a must read for anyone travelling outside of the USA. It perfectly epitomizes most american's attitudes toward cultures and lifestyles not their own. This book shows how americans are the most generous and genial people in the world and at the same time highlights some of the mistakes we as a people and a country make when abroad. The Ugly American inspires us all to travel and ensure that our reputation becomes polished and not tarnished.

Corporate Executions :
The Ugly Truth About Layoffs
How Corporate Greed Is Shattering Lives, Companies, and Communities
by Alan Downs

Alan Downs demystifies downsizing Alan Downs knows whereof he speaks when he details the rationale, strategies, and methodology of corporate downsizing in the 90's. His spellbinding expose is written from the standpoint of a converted "corporate reconstructionist," and he pulls no punches. He takes you behind the scenes, into boardrooms, managerial conferences, and strategy meetings, in which employees are little more than pieces of play on a game board, manipulated by corporate henchmen in an attempt to drain every last drop of profit from an undervalued workforce.
- Richard Engle (rengle@mail.barepower.net) from Winnetka, California, USA , September 12, 1997
