In general approach and content, this book resembles Alex Haley's
best-selling novel, Roots, except that this work contains no
fiction. It chronicles thirty generations and a thousand years of
Sanders (and Saunders) family evolution beginning before England's
earliest days and ending across the Atlantic in colonial Virginia
and eventually frontier and later Kentucky. Family figures are
portrayed in their own distinctive historical contexts and an
extensive genealogy focused on old world lineage is appended.
Nearly a thousand chapter notes on sources and names are furnished
to assist readers interested in discovering their own ancestry.
Decisionmaking literature, which has emphasized the act of
solving problems, has long neglected the need to identify problems
as precisely as possible. This book examines the nature of problems
and decisionmaking and their impact on people who direct an
organization. It further focuses on how executives respond to take
action at the upper levels of their organizations.
The book stresses problem identification, which executives
frequently ignore because of their preoccupation with problem
solving. It looks at the need to avoid viewing solutions as
remedies achieved at predetermined milestones. It examines options
other than solutions, such as accommodation and coping, and it
looks at the executive environment associated with outcomes along a
spectrum ranging from perfection, to progress, to failure. The
author argues that executives should abandon the attempt to
predetermine objectives over time and adopt a Problem Exchange
Ratio (PER) concept. The executive then compares the status of
problems over time, creating a ratio. The PER approach considers
the problems that solutions themselves trigger. It then allows
executives to see where they stand and suggests ways of
ameliorating unwanted conditions. The author provides illustrative
cases and episodes from both the public and private sectors.
Combining theory and practical aspects of executive decisionmaking,
this book gives the reader a fuller understanding of the link
between decisions and problems.

As part of its mission, the Industrial College of the Armed Forces
of the National Defense University continuously examines trends in
defense industries worldwide. It should come as no surprise, then,
that Dr. Ralph Sanders, the school's J. Carlton Ward, Jr.
Distinguished Professor (now emeritus), formed and directed a
research team of students to look into the rise of arms industries
in newly industrializing countries. In this book, Dr. Sanders has
updated, revised, and added significantly to the initial study,
completing it as a Senior Fellow with the University. In the United
States we think chiefly of our own country and other major powers
such as the Soviet Union, Great Britain, and France as
international arms producers and exporters. Sometimes we include a
few other European nations (Sweden, Switzerland and Belgium) and
Japan. Yet, almost unnoticed by most of us, a number of the more
technologically advanced Third World countries have built
significant arsenals. These nations now manufacture and export
sizable quantities of arms. In this volume, Dr. Sanders explores
the nature of arms production growth in these industrially vibrant
countries and assesses the consequent implications for US national
security. This volume represents both a concrete dividend for
Industrial College support of Dr. Sanders' research and a notable
product of the National Defense University's Senior Fellowship
program. Dr. Sanders' analysis should increase understanding within
the national security community as well as throughout the public at
large about the dynamics of arms production in the Third World. His
recommendations should provide guideposts for decisionmakers
confronting major policy questions associated with these new
arsenals. Bradley C. Hosmer Lieutenant General, US Air Force
President, National Defense University
