Delving deep into the heart of government, Choi unravels the human element often lost amidst the maze of procedures and paperwork. This book is not just a narrative; it's a journey canvassing the lives of those who serve, highlighting the emotional labor, ethical challenges, and personal triumphs inherent in public service.
