From the rear cover

Robert Reich's unique perspective as Secretary of Labor, presidential advisor, and long-running observer of American economics and politics makes this bestselling memoir an intimate, funny, and sobering portrait of government at its highest levels, an unflinching document of expedience and courage, rampant cynicism and genuine (although often wavering) idealism. In Locked in the Cabinet, Reich debunks and demystifies Washington as never before. He honors the much-maligned civil servants who make government work and skewers the politicians who often bring it to a halt. He tells us what he and Bill Clinton dreamed of achieving and why some of those dreams never came true.
