Publisher's Synopsis
Gerald Garvey provides a fascinating look inside the federal bureaucracy and offers insights into the forces, personalities, and politicking that make changing governmental institutions so difficult."Gerald Garvey in Facing the Bureaucracy does for bureaucracy what Anthony Lewis in Gideon′s Trumpet did for the courts and Eric Redman in The Dance of Legislation did for Congress. Garvey has written a page–turner, showing government from the inside. Here is a book for the professional, the student, or the concerned citizen who wants to know how bureaucracy really works––and why sometimes it doesn′t." ––John J. DiIulio, professor, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Princeton University
