Summary: A nice overview of complex system engineering issues
Comment: Dyer and Dennis have taken a nice approach to this MITRE-commissioned corporate history. Rather than taking a strict chronological approach to MITRE's 40-year history-which often results in a boring roll call of names, titles, and dates-they have instead focused on major projects and initiatives that MITRE has been involved with, interspersing these with chronological facts that tie the projects together.

Although you have to be somewhat familiar with (or interested in) large national systems, this book gives a nice overview of the challenges inherent in implementing complex systems that are vital to national security and safety.
