Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a summary of the French Civil Serviceâs vicious infighting and treachery and corruption that both made France invulnerable to foreign enemies as it was vulnerable to treachery from within. The author was a part of the government himself, and his vicious mockery of the machinations and incompetence of those around him is a marvel of invective. While the book is datedâ"its perspective is squarely from the nineteenth centuryâ"it is not out of date, and there is much to be learned from this book that can be applied both to understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the French bureaucracy and to appreciating the role of bureaucracy in general.
