The Price of Loyalty: George W. Bush, the White House, and the Education of Paul O'Neill

"[T]he news-cycle controversies have obscured the book's central, and important, thesis....What enriches THE PRICE OF LOYALTY, aside form the accretion of persuasive detail, is its assertion that in this administration, a time-honored notion of public service has been deeply corrupted....[W]hether O'Neill was a brilliant Treasury secretary or a mediocre one, he did regard the public trust as a sacred matter, and the case THE PRICE OF LOYALTY makes about the debasement of the policy process is a strong one."Ron Suskind is the author of 'The Price of Loyalty: George W. Bush, the White House, and the Education of Paul O'Neill', published 2004 under ISBN 9780743536516 and ISBN 0743536517.
