American Dream Deferred (Hardcover)

Hardcover. As the largest employer of one of the worlds leading economic and geo-political superpowers, the history of the federal governments workforce is a rich and essential tool for understanding how the Great Experiment truly works. The literal face of federal policy, federal employees enjoy a history as rich as the country itself, while reflecting the countrys evolution towards true democracy within a public space. Nowhere is this progression towards democracy more apparent than with its internal race relations.
