Another read from my new job's recommended list. This is a shorter title, about 90 pages. Well worth the read on how to deal with government contracts, agencies, and personnel. Although not intended, there are a few humorous moments in describing how things work 'behind the curtain' in the US, UK, and Australia.
It's well worth your time if you ever want to know more about working with, and for, governments.
Find it. Read it.
