Bøger af James Hayes

"One of the most enjoyable WW2 books to date."-War History Online One Hell of a War" is a fascinating blend of firsthand accounts and the strategic decisions that led to them based on the history of the 317th Infantry Regiment from its initial activation in World War II through the end of the war. This book has all the elements everyone loved in "Band of Brothers" with the added integration of the strategic leadership decisions of Patton, Bradley and Eisenhower. Most interestingly, it contains well written and thought-provoking excerpts of the late Colonel James Hayes, who served with the regiment during its entire wartime service. The history books do not say a great deal about the 317th Infantry Regiment of the 80th Infantry Division in WWII. However, it was a regiment that accomplished rather startling results: first bridgehead across the Moselle, cleared out La Grande Couronne de Nancy, participated in the capture of Metz -- the first time in history that the fort had ever fallen to an assault, and, of course, participated in the Battle of the Bulge as one of the first regiments to arrive in the area after the German assault had broken the line. It suffered extremely severe casualties and contained some of the best men ever known. What others are saying about One Hell of a War...- "One Hell of a War" is one of those books you simply can't put down. It should come with a carrying handle and a sign warning "Do Not Disturb"...one of the most enjoyable WW2 books to date.-Phil Hodges for War History Online- I love to read WWII history, and One Hell of a War takes the reader into the foxhole and onto the battlefield like no other book I have read ... this is a must read book.-Jim Ravella, President, Folds of Honor Foundation- It would be wonderful if every unit who fought during the war had a book like this portraying what was accomplished and how terrible war is for the men who actually fight it. -Gayalyn Wojtowicz, daughter of S/Sgt. Guyowen H. Howard, Sr. 317/B - OUTSTANDING! "One Hell of a War" is a magnificent and masterfully told story that effortlessly weaves together the historical operations of one of Patton's infantry regiments and first-hand accounts like no other book that I have read. A book this excellent is a rarity and should be on every professional reading list.-Colonel Frank Athanason, USA (Ret), Past National Commander of the Military Order of the Purple Heart- Dean Dominique's careful research and editing of Colonel James Hayes' combat memoirs rings true in a book that is both a scholarly work and an exciting read. Trust me, when you reach the section about the fighting and cold weather during the Battle of the Bulge, you'll want to put on a coat; it's that good.-Alexander Barnes; Author of "In a Strange land; The American Occupation of Germany 1918-1923.- A remarkable story about an infantry regiment during WWII that played a key role in operations in Europe.

Fiber optics has become the backbone of all communications systems, including telecom - landline and wireless - the Internet, CATV, LANs, etc. All these fiber optic networks require testing to ensure they are installed properly and to troubleshoot problems when they arise. Fiber optic manufacturers and network users say that testing is the most important aspect of installation and operation but often the least well understood. This book has been written by the FOA to provide a comprehensive but understandable technical guide to this important topic. The Fiber Optic Association, Inc. (FOA) was founded in 1995 by a group of instructors who were highly experienced at teaching fiber optics. They represented educational institutions, manufacturers and commercial and government users of fiber optics, including all types of fiber optic applications. All were concerned about the absence of standards for teaching fiber optic technicians and industry certifications to show their competence. The FOA was chartered to promote fiber optics through education, certification and standards. Today the FOA is recognized around the world as the authority on fiber optic training and certification. The FOA has always tried to provide the world with sources of technically correct unbiased information on fiber optics using both print and electronic media. For such a broad subject as testing fiber optic networks, we depend on the FOA Online Reference Guide on the FOA website (www.foa.org), the largest and most widely used reference on fiber optics to supplement the material in this book. This book and the FOA Online Reference Guide provide a basic reference for testing fiber optic networks and a study guide for FOA Fiber Optic Specialist Certification in testing.

Fiber optics has become the backbone of all communications systems, including telecom - landline and wireless - the Internet, CATV, LANs, etc. Most books cover the installation of fiber optic networks, yet every network requires extensive planning and design to ensure a successful installation.

It is aimed at the project manager, supervisor, owner, designer and installer of the network to inform them of the processes involved in the proper planning of a fiber optic communications project.
