Essential reading for practitioner and theorist alike

In a thoughtful postmodern personal narrative on the vocation of public administration and its place in a postmodern society, O.C. McSwite takes the reader on a journey that quickly gives insight into this individual's professional experience while resounding with the academician and public servant. Highly recommended!
