Publisher's Synopsis
MORE TALES ABOUT FUNNY HAPPENINGS IN HIGH PLACES OF GOVERNMENT: This time with a personal touch. Growing up in Brooklyn, USA, and coming of age slinging dishes in the Catskill Mountains (Borscht Belt) where everything is a hustle was the perfect prep for a career in government.
This is the sequel to Confessions of a Government Man, with more recollections of funny events and unforgettable characters, such as Murray "Bermuda" Schwartz and Morris "Hot Dog" Nathan. "Fake news," witch hunts and personal vendettas were all part of a days' work.It all started with humble beginnings, in a tiny apartment and a family with just a few eccentricities. Working the Catskills was a four-star reality check about the uncertainties of life. These tales include sleight of hand, Houdini-like magic with federal money, a near shootout, school age mischief, young love and a touch of the risque..
Along the way the author dealt with presidents, big-city mayors, judges, Congress, and industry giants, as well as community activists, labor unions, urban hustlers and garden variety con artists.
It was quite a ride and it all started in Brooklyn.
