The Gate of Hell
by Alfred CoppelRoss Ferrar...a veteran of the Korean War, a soldier by profession, is serving as a volunteer with an Israeli paratroop company. Sarai Steiner, once a terrified young refugee from Nazi Austria who fled to England, is now a lovely woman living in Israel. This is the story of Ross and Sarai, their struggle to avoid love, and then to grasp it in the midst of the conflict between Israel and Egypt. This is far more than the bittersweet and moving record of two decent human beings caught in an unconventional emotional cross-current. It is also a vibrant portrait of a new nation in an old land, and a saga of battle, new in its techniques, but ancient in its test of men and its cruel consorting with chance. Here is the exciting adventure and pulsating emotion. Projected against an authentic moment in history, it is grimly real and tenderly human.

In a "fat" company, the focus is on departments (such as sales, quality control, or research). In a lean organization, the focus is on a few big-picture processes, such as developing new business. This change in emphasis is the critical difference between innovative firms and the lethargic pack of also-rans. This eye-opening book: ** explores "process management" as a corporate strategy -- and how to implement it ** presents insightful case studies of several companies and their journeys toward process-driven competitive strategies ** explains the four primary processes vital to all companies
