"Mr. Curry's book integrates an emphasis on strong acquisition planning up-front in the acquisition life cycle...Effective acquisition planning leads toward more successful achievement of mission objectives within cost, schedule and scope parameters in a post-award contract management environment"

"This book and supplemental material give any contracting professional a plethora of sound advice and real tools with which to design, develop and implement contracts in a professional and ethical manner. A must for any contract professional's desk."

"This book fills an important gap in teaching contracting in public administration graduate programs. Managers, contractors, and students of this dynamic field will find in this volume a wealth of practical techniques and policy ideas for sound and ethical contracting."

Includes a CD with detailed technical discussions, contracting documents and tools, glossary of terms, and templates

A guidebook through the minefield of government contracting and procurement, Government Contracting: Promises and Perils describes the dangeous practices commonly applied in the development and management of government contracts and provides advice for avoiding the sorts of errors that might compromise the ability to protect the public interest. It includes strategies for increasing profits for government contractors, rather than incurring burdensome costs, through compliance with government mandated subcontracting and financial management systems. Filled with best practices that protect you from nefarious, amateurish, and criminal mistakes that frequently lead to harsh consequences, the coverage does not end with discussions of corruption, mismanagement, and ineptitude, but provides practical processes and strategies to diminish the negative impacts from these government contracting perils.
