THE AMERICAN BUREACRACY is well known and widely respected for presenting a fair, balanced, and concise treatment of the U.S. Bureaucracy. Its never-cynical approach to the history, trends, and future of the American Bureaucracy has won it very high regard. Thorough attention is given to the study of how the government works to provide a multitude of services and protection to the American people, and current literature, charts, and data are incorporated and synthesized into the text.

Review:
"This is an extraordinarily good textbook. It is one of the finest I have read in any field of government and politics."
"It is a short and well-written introduction to the topic that covers briefly most of the topics I want to cover in an introductory class...It dispels many of the myths about government that many students bring to the class while, at the same time, covering much of the relevant material."
"Not surprisingly, Chapter 7 is excellent because Dr. Stillman is the best contemporary writer on PA's (Public Administration) intellectual history."
