On the Amazon page, the title is given as *Sales Engineering*, with this description:
“During my youth and a little later, The Saturday Evening Post was a magazine that everyone knew,
many purchased, and even us kids read. Its authors were remarkable, many to become well known.
Even its cover illustrator you’ll recognize as the famous Norman Rockwell.
One of those often read authors was William Hazlett Upson who contributed a very popular series
of short stories about the escapades of Earthworm Tractors salesman Alexander Botts. I loved his humor.
That’s where Sales Engineering originated, from the antics of Alexander Botts selling Earthworm Tractors.
7,449 Words”
However, the cover shown on the page is the one above, and the sample is also for that book. I don’t know what I would actually get if I bought it, and I’m not going to pay to find out.
But yeah, following the link supplied by LBC above shows the same cover on the book described as “Sales Engineering” by Perry Chapdelaine Sr. and the look inside sample is for “The Return of John Israel McWayizeni Shaka”.
Shaka, of course, was a mighty warrior who through guts and determination changed not just a nation, but a whole country.
Still, both his cruel ambition and modern English arms overwhelmed his good works.
A direct descendant of the original Shaka, holding the same name, returns to his country of birth, but only
as a result of another of those horrible worldwide wars.
This time the worldwar is final. Considering that this story was written in the 1970s and it is now 2014, my imaginative
war-making devices are not only not news but appear to be of modern make.
None of us like final war stories, but he Return of John Israel McWayizeni Shaka and his side-kick, the false Frenchy, has
a certain reader appeal!

I don’t know about the bottom pictures but the top one is from an old mini-series about Shaka Zulu, making me question whether the author has gotten anyone’s permission to use that image.
Actually, the sample seems OK. I might give it a chance after I’ve knocked my Kindle backlog down a bit. Seems like the guy was a published SF author in the ’60s and ’70s:

Look at the level of competency. Of course he didn’t.
This cover, and probably the insides, too, are incomprehensible.

Where does Norman Rockwell fit into this?!
