| Abstract | "A civil servant discovers his breaking point when the Trump administration's cruelty and indifference threaten to violate the oath he swore to uphold."--Provided by publisher. |
| Abstract | This memoir by Nicholas Enrich recounts the author's experiences serving as a senior global health official at the United States Agency for International Development during the second administration of Donald Trump. The book describes administrative changes affecting USAID, the role of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and Enrich's decision to release whistleblower memoranda concerning foreign aid policy and agency operations. Combining personal narrative with political and institutional analysis, the work examines government administration, public service, and humanitarian aid policy in the United States. |
