Book Description
This is the first book about the extraordinary, decadent life and enigmatic creative works of Donald Cammell (1934-1996) whose first film became a classic. Innovative and provocative, Performance brought a new sensibility to modern cinema. Although it immediately launched Cammell into the international limelight, his career proved elusive. He completed only three more feature films before his 1996 suicide. Yet this elusiveness elevated Cammell into myth and inspired a generation of young filmmakers including Quentin Tarantino, Steven Soderbergh, Roger Avary and Todd Haynes. This biography offers:
* rare stills
* previously unpublished personal photographs
* images from his early career as a portrait painter
* a filmography
* unrealized and uncompleted projects, and screenplays
* dozens of interviews

Why, you all work for me !.......2006-08-16
Overall one would have to say the Umlands' did an excellent job on a difficult subject though I'm not sure about " Anita Pallenberg & Michelle Breton " being world famous actresses -ever. Cammell died around the corner and up the street from me my first year in Los Angeles and having grown up on a lot of British Auteurism in Dublin in the late Seventies & Early Eighties it struck me as profoundly sad that he had somehow managed to come unstuck in the hills & canyons of Hollywood. That said, Donald comes across as a royal pain in the arse in spite of Rebecca Umland's sympathetic portrayal of the
" tortured " artist. One got the feeling by the end of the book that Donald Cammell would have been better served sticking with the Royal Academy and a career in illustration. Certainly the family background lent itself to something closer to the classics and less about the popular medium of Cinema and even less so the fusion of rock n' roll and cinema. He wanders through this Biography, lost or at the very least a bit of a bloody dilletante. I think very telling is the close friendship that was forged with Brian Jones and the complete and utter hatred he and Keith Richards had for each other. Telling because Brian Jones suffered the same malaise. Brian was in love with being in The Stones, Donald was in love with being a movie director but in both cases the sheer hard graft of it seemed to be lacking. Good read, finely illustrated, great fotos and they do a wonderful job of NOT scrubbing around in the scandalous.
a fine book on an enigma.......2006-08-11
I've been waiting a long time for this book. Performance, the film Cammell wrote and co-directed with Nicolas Roeg, is an actual artistic act of magical transformation, and a masterpiece. But the last 25 years of Cammell's life have been a mystery overshadowed by his 1996 suicide. Here at last is a comprehensive, almost scholarly examination of the man and his career, in great detail and with a fine feel for the times (like Marianne Faithfull's comment that compared to Cammell the young Rolling Stones were "lightweights"). The book dispells the myths told about his suicide (which I won't spoil for you), but reveals tantalizing information about his forgotten projects -- man, do I want to see Tilt and Simona (even if I can't unfortunately see Donald's version) -- and I want to track down a copy of Duffy too.
A worthwhile study, beautifully designed and composed. Thanks to everyone who made this possible.

Customer Reviews:
It's okay, but..........2003-02-20
I have to agree with ceres r that this book is hardly worth the money. The writing, like in many strategy guides, is very poor, but it does get the job done. However, I find it hard to believe that anyone would need help with the single-player in the first place. The best part about wold is the multi-play, and this is where hte book really comes up short.
I would reccomend searching the net for walkthroughs and tips. Save your money for something more useful, like the upcoming expansion for wolfenstein: Enemy Territory!
Amateur Writing at its finest.......2003-01-05
You would think that a book of this nature that one author would suffice however Prima credited no less than four authors expertise on the RtCW game.
I found the writing to be extremely childish however for my purposes the content sufficed. The guide does exactly what it is expected to do which is to walk the novice Wolfensteiner through the pc platform version of the game. ... Save your money and check the net instead for further reference....
A must have in playing and winning RTCW.......2002-04-21
I just completed playing RTCW. This book made it possible. It gave quick concise directions and tips for finding secret areas, treasure and how to kill/defeat Nazis and monsters. This is a must if you plan to play RTCW with knowledge. The guides with the game are never adequate in explaining strategy and providing maps to each level.
A definite must have for playing this game.
Amazon.com's Best of 2001
It's hard to think of a CEO that commands as much respect as Jack Welch. Under his leadership, General Electric reinvented itself several times over by integrating new and innovative practices into its many lines of business. In Jack: Straight from the Gut, Welch, with the help of Business Week journalist John Byrne, recounts his career and the style of management that helped to make GE one of the most successful companies of the last century. Beginning with Welch's childhood in Salem, Massachusetts, the book quickly progresses from his first job in GE's plastics division to his ambitious rise up the GE corporate ladder, which culminated in 1981. What comes across most in this autobiography is Welch's passion for business as well as his remarkable directness and intolerance of what he calls "superficial congeniality"--a dislike that would help earn him the nickname "Neutron Jack." In spite of its 496 pages, Jack: Straight from the Gut is a quick read that any student or manager would do well to consider. Highly recommended. --Harry C. Edwards
Book Description
In his #1 New York Times bestseller, Jack Welch surveys his brilliant career at General Electric, reveals his personal business philosophy, and discusses his life post-retirement in a new afterword. They called him Neutron Jack. They called him the world's toughest boss. And then Fortune called him 'The Manager of the Century.' In his 20-year career at the helm of General Electric, Jack Welch defied conventional wisdom and turned an aging behemoth of a corporation into a lean, mean engine of growth and corporate innovation. In this remarkable autobiography-a classic business book and runaway New York Times bestseller now updated with a new afterword-Jack Welch takes us on the rough-and-tumble ride that has been his remarkable life.
Download Description
I gave kicks followed by hugs. That's the basic philosophy of how Jack ran the vast and extraordinarily profitable General Electric company for more than two decades. During his tenure, GE was recognized annually as the best company in the world by Fortune magazine. And in JACK: Straight from the Gut, Welch reveals how his unusual management techniques propelled GE to become one of the most successful corporations of all time. Welch got the job done by constantly pushing his employees to be Number One. That mission statement, along with a keen attention to detail, allowed Welch to refine his management workforce each year so that only the best employees keep progressing. Others were asked to leave. "Yes, I was tough," says Welch, "but for those who produced, the rewards were extraordinary." In this candid business memoir, Welch runs through the entire ascent of his amazing career, including a retelling of all of his own career miscues, and reveals how he still managed to get to the top.

I loved this book.......2007-05-11
I could not put it down, and I recommend it to many people. I read it in paperback, but am buying a hardcover copy. This book is a keeper.
Jack's own story - POWERFULLY WRITTEN!!!.......2007-02-28
As corporate biographies go, this one is absolutely terrific. Jack Welch is considered by many to be the finest corporate CEO of his generation. Keep in mind that the same words have been said about each of the last three CEO's of General Electric. Chuck Knight who ran Emerson Electric at age 37, and then produced 27 consecutive years of earnings growth going from $1 billion to $15 billion in sales during that period would also be in the running. Knight's book "Performance without Compromise" is superb and well worth reading.
You do want to read Welch's book because it can act as a template for how to run a vast organization. This book should be required reading at Harvard Business School,or any MBA Program for that matter. What comes through the book, and Welch may not even realize it is that he didn't have to become successful. He didn't have to make it. There's a huge amount of luck involved in who comes through the funnel to be CEO of any cutting edge corporation. There's as much politics involved as skill, maybe more.
Welch talks about the two years immediately preceding becoming Chairman as among the most miserable in his life. There were players in GE that did not want him to make it. This was also true throughout Welch's career with the giant GE. He talks about a human resources man named Johnson standing in his way for years, early on in his career (p77). It wasn't until several years later that another man succeeded Johnson that Welch was able to move up again.
You also get the intimate details of how the new Chairman of General Electric is selected, which is an absolutely compelling section to read. Apparently there are usually 3 men in the running for the slot. Each of them is usually a Vice-Chairman of the Board at the time the race starts. They each know they are in the race for the top slot, and each has their own backers. What's interesting is how the backers try to kill off the other horses in the race. Once again there's a lot of politics involved.
What I never realized, and Jack is a neighbor in my town is that whoever wins, the other players always wind up leaving General Electric fairly quickly. When you think about it, this seems reasonable. However to management professors, they would tell you what a loss of great, well-trained talent to let out the door. GE's feelings are that the people that don't make Chairman could be bitter, (they are), and therefore it is better they leave to pursue other endeavors.
You might have read Larry Bossidy's great bestseller on business called "Execution, The Discipline of Getting Things Done". Before doing an absolutely fantastic job for Allied Signal which was absorbed into Honeywell, Bossidy was a Vice Chairman of GE, and in the running to become GE Chairman. As you know, there can only be one Chairman, and when Bossidy was passed over, he went on to great fame at Honeywell.
More recently, Jeff Immelt became Chairman of GE when Welch retired. One of the horses in that race which Immelt won was Robert Nardelli, who when passed over, was furious with Welch and went on to take $400 million in income from Home Depot before being dismissed by the Board of Directors at the end of 2005. Apparently, the famous GE template for doing business doesn't necessarily transfer into every business. Home Depot being an example of the failure of the GE system.
Outstanding Explanation of Corporate Transformation
Peter Drucker the renowned management guru of the 20th century always wrote about the corporation as a living, breathing organism - very much alive. It requires constant nourishment to keep it from dying a slow death. GE is no different than any other corporation in this realm. What Welch would tell you, which is what he says in lectures, is that each successive GE Chairman must transform the corporation in his own image. This takes a couple of years upon assuming the position, to pull off.
Welch did it with his immediate predecessor Reg Jones, and Welch says that his successor Immelt is doing it as we speak. Divisions are sold off, and new companies are bought. Certain strategies, which were emphasized by one Chairman, are discarded and relegated to the ash heap by the next. This is what a corporation in the constant process of renewal has to do, and Welch spends considerable time going though each of the major business segments of GE, and how he transformed them.
He also went through several marriages, which tells you about the price of corporate success. What isn't clear because Chairman Welch chooses not to make clear is whether the personal costs for his business success were worth it. What is the cost of a failed marriage, and all the time and energy invested in it.
When Welch divorced his second wife here in Fairfield County he offered the lady a million dollar settlement at a time when he was worth some $900 million. This is after she made a 20-year investment in time to the legendary CEO. The question becomes one of what kind of logic was he using in the decision making process in this instance. This is especially true for someone of his vast intellect, and legal resources. The storm of embarrassment, and furor that ensued was totally expected, public, and preventable.
It is also amazing to consider that this man was able to create a 1 handicap at golf for himself while running General Electric. The amount of effort and time that is necessary to achieve such a ranking is considerable, and yet Welch pulled it off. This is a very special man.
There was one business segment that General Electric completely failed at, and the Chairman is remarkably candid in discussing it. This was General Electric's acquisition, and subsequent divestiture of Kidder Peabody the Wall Street investment banking firm. Welch saw great value in the acquisition, and indeed there was.
The failure was in the understanding of RISK. To a businessman, risk is risk. It doesn't matter what kind of risk it happens to be. It is always quantifiable, and controllable - SURE. This certainly is not true in the case of a Wall Street firm, but as Welch puts it, GE had to learn that lesson by LIVING IT. General Electric approaches risk the way bankers approach risk. It is reasonable, and logical.
In the case of a Wall Street firm, that is not how risk works. This is why with very rare exceptions, no bank or insurance company or industrial concern for that matter is able to acquire, and successfully run a Wall Street brokerage firm. Prudential Insurance certainly failed with Bache, which subsequently was divested. Ross Perot lost a hundred million (over a billion dollars in today's purchasing power) trying to save Francis DuPont and Company in the early 1970's.
Now there was GE's attempt to integrate Kidder Peabody into the GE template for doing business. Welch wound up pulling what little hair he had out of his head. As he puts it, your assets ride up the elevator in the morning, and ride down at night, namely the employees in a brokerage firm.
What's more if you have a good year, they get bonuses so lavish you would never pay that much in an industrial concern. What's even worse, if you have a bad year, they still want bonuses to keep them from walking out the door, and working somewhere else. The GE experiment in Wall Street lasted about a year, and then Kidder Peabody was jettisoned.
GE Capital was Another Story
GE Capital under Jack Welch became the crown jewel of GE, and also Welch's major legacy to the corporation. These guys are among the smartest people on the planet. Everybody complains about what a lousy business the airplane business is. GE Capital doesn't complain. They probably make more money leasing planes, and other aviation related goods, than the entire airline industry put together makes. This is no joke, that's how smart these guys are.
They lend money to companies that potentially are going bankrupt, yet the indentures they draft allow GE to come away whole, even if there's a bankruptcy. GE Capital is the ultimate money machine. Just to give you an idea, in my 35 years of money management, the most profitable business I have ever seen is modular office units for construction sites.
Have you ever gone onto a construction site, you will always see these trailer like rectangular facilities where the foreman, architects, and assorted other individuals might be working when they are not out on the construction site. These facilities cost a thousand or two to make, and they get rented out for 400, 500, 600 a month. The enclosures pay for themselves in a couple of months, and then its pure gravy for years.
Years ago, GE Capital figured out the business, and now dominates it for themselves. These fellows are on top of every major profitable business on the planet. There was a used car leasing deal in Asia that was fabulously profitable, and available. GE Capital found that one too, bought it right up, and dominates the industry today. This division is so big and so profitable, that one could argue that GE is no longer a manufacturing concern. They are a capital employment firm, and GE Capital is the driving force of the corporation. As the years go by, this is becoming more and more true.
Read this book. You will love it. It is written in Jack's voice, although he has a ghostwriter working with him named John Byrne. Anything this man has to say is worthwhile. It's almost 450 pages of pure business joy waiting to be discovered, and explored. I recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in business and how to manage the modern industrial corporation.
Richard Stoyeck
A great book by a great business leader.......2006-12-20
Jack Welch is of course a business genius and has written many books. This is the only one that recounts what he did at GE to make it a successful company. I think it is the most interesting of all of his books and by far the most fun to read. No matter what type of business you own or are interested in there is something in here for everyone. You get a great sense of what running a conglomerate looks like. Highly recommend.
Jack, Straight from the Gut.......2006-11-25
Jack Welch boils down his philosophy and GE's success to a few key principles. For this the book does an outstanding job, and provides the reader with some best-practice guidelines for his or her own company. It's a much more interesting read than many management books, yet stills happens to continually reinforce GE's and Jack Welch's key concepts.
Some of the other reviews seem to reflect opinions of readers that simply don't get it. While there is some fluff in the book you will get a lot out of it if you stay focused on the few key messages. These you can take to your own company or job and have a very positive impact.
A Must Read For Managers.......2006-11-11
If you are a manager or aspiring to be one, go ahead and read this one. Need not follow all what jack is telling you in the book but i am sure you would want to follow some of them. Who else is a better person to tell those other than Jack who has gone through all of that. Another great read is his Winning.

Buen libro... para crecer.......2007-05-14
En este libro Jack Welch describe parte de su vida. Es básicamente biográfico, pero proporciona ideas de gerencia aplicables en la vida real. Yo recomiendo más el libro "Winning" del mismo autor, que es menos biográfico y más de gerencia aplicable a situaciones diarias de negocios.
