A true memoir of the trials and tribulations of the first half of the life of a man growing up in Massachusetts, and being trained to be an international defense industry executive. He spends time in Viet Nam as a contractor then ends up living in Europe where he is in the challenging and adventurous profession of selling fighter aircraft to countries in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. He travels extensively in such countries as Libya, Morocco, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Lebanon and Iran while selling F5 fighter aircraft and large telecommunications and intelligence gathering systems for a major US defense contractor. While in this role, he becomes involved in international intrigue with the royal families of several countries, international arms dealers and US intelligence agencies. Some of these activities are made public here for the first time. “This is a very good book. It contains some interesting inside information relative to the international defense aerospace business, a subject about which very little information is available. More should be written, and read, on this subject.” —Dr. Rene Francillon, one of the world’s foremost aviation historians and author of more than forty books on the subject.

History

EMS texts have grown in size from 200 pages to more than 2,000. But they still don't mention fear, kindness, gentleness, compassion, love, or tolerance for some of the mindless stupidity and pure meanness we all see daily. Reinforced by advice from dozens of master-level caregivers, this newest edition of People Care explains how to harness and employ the most powerful therapeutic instruments in medicine - our intuition, our empathy, our words and our behaviors - in service to people we've never met. And, how to love doing it for 20 years.
