With simple, to-the-point, explanations of the different branches and agencies of government, Lindner guides prospective employees and contractors through the halls of bureaucracy, giving readers everything they need to know to excel in the federal environment. Along the way, Lindner provides “100 Lessons”—nuggets of advice for almost any situation.

There’s even an additional chapter covering Lindner’s own career “war stories.”
