This book has a wealth of information from history, to policy, to process and technique. The tenets of the ombudsman functions are clearly explained with the real world in mind. I believe the book will become a "must read" for the ombuds, the ombuds hopeful or for the organization considering establishing an ombuds office.

I have been corresponding with Chuck and I will be doing an interview for with him which will be posted either by the end of this week or early next week. I have read through half of the book already and have found it useful and knowledgeable- and this coming from a non-ombuds!
