Back to the Future: Returning U.S. Space Acquisition to Glory

Back to the Future: Returning U.S. Space Acquisition to Glory

Daniel R. Malin

BiblioScholar

The space acquisition community has suffered through a series of high-visibility setbacks that have cast doubt on the U.S. defense establishment's ability to procure space systems. The USAF has endured through an $8B overrun and 6 year delay with its Space-based Infrared System. The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, partnered with the USAF and NASA, has suffered through a $4B overrun and more than a year launch delay with its National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System. Even the traditionally efficient National Reconnaissance Office has experienced a highly publicized multibillion dollar overrun and several year launch delay with its Future Imaging Architecture. This trend of delays and overruns has unfortunately become the norm rather than the exception for U.S. space acquisition. To help reverse the current trend, program managers should study successful programs of the past in search of techniques that may still be relevant today. George Bernard Shaw, the famous Irish playwright, said, "We learn from history that we learn nothing from history.

This story begins in November 1941 and recounts B Company's march through French Morocco, Tunisia, Sicily, Italy, and Southern France. From there, it traces the company's advance over the Vosges Mountains, through the Colmar Pocket and across Germany to Austria. For many of the B Company veterans, the battles left lasting impressions on their memories. They spoke vividly of Casablanca, Licata, Mt. Rotundo and Bloody Anzio, where they held the beachhead for four brutal months. They related with pride the operations in the Colmar Pocket, the smash through the vaunted Siegfried Line and the capture of Salzburg in May 1945, which led to the ultimate surrender of the German Third Reich. Deservedly so, the starring role in this story is played by Audie Murphy. However, the major focus of the book is on the spirit of B Company. It is the author's hope to reveal the true thoughts, words, and souls of these brave men so that the reader will identify with them in a personal way. This is the story of the B Company foot soldiers-a moving and vivid account told primarily by the characters themselves, through their own eyes and their own experiences. This book is the culmination of a three-year study on B Company. In his pursuit to arrive as near as possible to the truth, the author has thoroughly examined both secondary and primary sources, including: war memoirs, letters, journals, diaries, witness statements, and interviews with B Company veterans. He's also included several illustrations from his extensive collection of maps and photographs, many of which were personally shot on location. Contents: Foreword by Dr. Keith E. Bonn; Preface; Cast of Characters; Introduction Part I: North Africa and Sicily (1942-43): Chapter 1: The Truscott Trot; Chapter 2: Destination Messina Part II: Italy (1943-44); Chapter 3: The Craggy Apennines; Chapter 4: Bloody Anzio; Chapter 5: The Liberation of Rome Part III: France (1944-45): Chapter 6: Operation Anvil; Chapter 7: Through the Vosges; Chapter 8: The Colmar Pocket Part IV: Germany (1945): Chapter 9: Smashing the Siegfried Line; Chapter 10: Victory at Last; Afterword; Acknowledgments; Bibliography; The Author; 36 photos, 2 illustrations, 32 maps.

Reading Joyce’s Ulysses

Reading Joyce’s Ulysses

Daniel R Schwarz

Palgrave Macmillan
1987
nidottu
Reissued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Bloomsday, Reading Joyce's 'Ulysses' includes a new preface taking account of scholarly and critical development since its original publication. It shows how the now important issues of post-colonialism, feminism, Irish Studies and urban culture are addressed within the text, as well as a discussion of how the book can be used by both beginners and seasoned readers. Schwarz not only presents a powerful and original reading of Joyce's great epic novel, but discusses it in terms of a dialogue between recent and more traditional theory. Focusing on what he calls the odyssean reader, Schwarz demonstrates how the experience of reading Ulysses involves responding both to traditional plot and character, and to the novel's stylistic experiments.
