9780679421535. New condition. Hard cover. Language: English. Pages: 256. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. With dust jacket. 256 p. At a time when the cynicism about the government's value is a topic of heated discussion, Geoghegan vividly redefines the terms of the debate. Combining memoir and trenchant observation, he uses his own life to explore what it means to be a "national" civil servant and a "local" citizen.
