2006-08-15 Edwards the Confessor

This book, based largely on George Edwards interviews but also many other sources, is brilliant. I was a Vickers/BAC employee 1957-63 and my opinion of politicians of the day and BOAC management was pretty low, whereas GRE was held in high esteem. Now I have read this book my opinion of the former has sunk even lower and George Edwards has risen even higher. The book is a real revelation as to the problems he faced in achieving what he did for employees and for the country. Buy it.
