Description
Americans' faith in institutions continues to be historically low. We do not have public confidence to spare, and Inspectors General are on the front lines of protecting what remains. It is more important than ever that the guardians of our public integrity do their jobs well. Glenn Fine is among the finest examples of this breed of noble sentinels who watch over our government and help restore trust. Watchdogs gives the reader a master class on the importance of the often unheralded work done by the unsung heroes known as IGs. His book is an invaluable account of why this work so important." - (From the foreword by General Jim Mattis (USMC - Retired), former United States Secretary of Defense) "Anyone seeking to understand-and perhaps improve-the system of checks and balances crucial to a healthy, functioning democracy will find [Watchdogs] useful. . . . An illuminating look at an overlooked but crucial element of American governance." - Kirkus Reviews
