America: Underwater and Sinking

Book Synopsis: In Underwater, James B. Lockhart, a former submarine officer with the US Navy who went on to play a large part in the government's response to the Global Financial Crisis, tells an important story about managing government agencies that - in submarine parlance - are deep underwater, then provides solutions on how to help them and the overall government surface. As President George H. W. Bush once said, "There is nothing more fulfilling than to serve your country and your fellow citizens, and to do it well." Underwater is about trying to do it well.
