Enough is Enough

About the Book

Enough is Enough relates facts of Intimate love, supreme sadness, humor, valor and fox hole religion, laid bare as never before.
    I survived front line action in the South Pacific under General Douglas Mac Arthur's command. The orders he issued and the lies he told our President was the beginning of his down fall. I was at his office doof on guard duty and over heard everyword he spoke. The world must be informed. What I reveal will go into the annals of history.
    I spent twenty five years within the walls of the Ford Motor Company Engineering Center in Dearborn Michigan. The events I write about are anything but boring. I've been directly involved in and contributed to the program that contributed magnificent results for the company.
     I've also witnessed profound blunders beyond belief, the end result cost the company hundreds of millions of dollars. My recording of these events are in the company files. I also have original test data sheets.
