Sometimes It's Not About Fishing

After waiting 20 years I finally wrote the book, revealing all of the back room facts about the hostile takeover of Grumman by Northrop. I was in a unique position during all of the events leading up to and including this hostile takeover, to document the real information that was never before revealed. The book is titled :The Last Chapter" and I wrote it because I wanted to close the book properly on this great company.
 The book discusses the many political issues related to maintaining a defense company during difficult budgetary times and also points out the difficulty of operating a large defense company from a state that has no real political clout. Anyone that worked for Grumman or was even remotely associated with the Long Island New York area will be interested in reading this book. The book can be reviewed and purchased at my new web site www.booksbyjake.com
