If Truth Be Told (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781105947872)

"If Truth Be Told" is a tapestry of mostly true stories taken from the author's life as a Federal employee. These stories are used as the backdrop for a surprisingly ruthless attack by management on a worker's program concieved by the Carter Administration. The author uses biting humor, cutting satire and in places outright slapstick comedy as he guides us through the futile attempts of petty bureaucrats determined to scuttle a Young Adult Conservation Corps camp on the Oregon coast. They make one fatal mistake as so often happens to the rich and powerful: They underestimate the resourcefulness of their opposition, deceived by their own overblown conceits. If Truth Be Told law students or union representatives could use this book as a primer and guide to defend labor against persistent assaults by management. "Which side are you on?" is a question oft asked by the author. You decide as you journey through this tapestry of fact-based historic fiction set in splendidly beautiful Oregon landscapes.
