BOOK SUBJECT MATTER:

**In the authors words**

My thirty-one years with IBM were the most interesting I could have ever envisioned. My major assignment was called Competitive Technology Analysis. It gave me personal exposure to the highest levels within IBM including presidents of worldwide divisions, members of the Board of Directors and the president of IBM. The analysis and guidance I provided for over twenty years about IBM competitors to IBM executives, required gathering, analyzing, and forecasting electronic trends of competitive computer technology in the world of commercial computer development. For me this was a unique, rewarding, and exciting assignment within IBM. The results of this work enabled IBM, and the USA, to become, and remain for many years, the leading and dominant computer business enterprise in the world in the face of extremely competent competitors such as CDC, RCA, Univac, Siemens, Fujitsu, SEC, AMDAHL, Hitachi, DEC, Data General, and many others.

Prior to my IBM experience, I was directly involved in a major and successful US Air Force intelligence effort to take high altitude photos of the Soviet Union before the U2. Both during and after IBM, I was directly involved in an association with the CIA, including one project to evaluate and forecast Russian computer capability. Another had to do with determining nuclear status and capability in Libya while Khadafy was leader and yet another project was associated with Indonesia while Sukarno was president.

This book describes the methods I developed and used, and my worldwide exposure both inside and outside, that enabled my IBM assignments to be completed, and which results were of value to the CIA and of national value to the security of the USA.
