Absolutely Indespensible
By Kevin L. Bray
Folks, this is the real deal. Like most of us in Government Contracts, I expended years – my entire career – learning, the ins and outs of contract terms and conditions negotiations with the Government. Had Ken Segel’s magnificent book on the subject been around twnty years ago, I’d have damned well been on the Board of Directors of Lockheed by now! Mr. Segel’s magnificent work avails to the working contracts specialist a merely written, no-nonsense craftman’s tool to assure that equity is acheived for the Contractor, as well as for the Government. After all, there is no better pay-off for the conscientious contracts professional than an arrangement that is adequate for the purpose to both contracting parties, which is why Mr. Segel’s book is a must-have on the office book shelf of each self-respecting negotiator. Highly recommended.
