“A marvelous insight into the Federal bureaucratic world and the  appointees who lead the Government’s internal workings and operations but sometimes self-destruct in the unfamiliar setting.  Related in a breezy, dramatic style, saturated with real incidents and fascinating history, it is written by a terrific storyteller who has been there himself and knows and shares the details which affect all our lives that are almost always under the radar of even investigative reporters.  Required reading for anyone recruiting and vetting candidates for the new Obama administration and certainly for anyone notified of appointment or considering such.  A really fun read for the rest of us who learn how Government really works along the way.”

How the new appointee to the Federal Government can avoid the 6 most common pitfalls that have perplexed all of their predecessors, embarrassed others, and destroyed some.”

“The Federal Appointee is the servant of two masters whose demands for loyalty sometimes conflict.  Eigen’s dramatic, example –packed book really improves his or her chances.”

“The inside picture of how Federal executives have to function. Must reading for the intelligent citizen and the aspiring appointee.
