Secretarial Wars

ISBN-10: 0595275923
We all know that it is the secretaries and receptionists that make the world go `round. Getting through the guard dog can be the biggest challenge in a business deal. In Linda Gould's, "Secretarial Wars," we see where the power lies.
Miriam is a secretary in a Washington D.C. office for U.S. Peace Grants. The program sends scholars and professionals abroad to share their knowledge of American ideals. However, this is only on the surface. What is really happening? Miriam is intent on discovering the truth. A bit bored with her cubicle entrenched life, empty apartment and seemingly dead end job, she takes a peek at the files that surround her. Why are some grants awarded to incomplete applications? Is there a pattern to those who are awarded? Is there an underlying scandal that involves the rumors she hears about The U.S. Peace Council being nicknamed the Covert War Council? And just how influential is the President of the United States on a professional football team?
Linda Gould has written a testament to the power of secretarial staff. Be warned people! Secretaries know your dirty little secrets. The book's plot is well thought out and moves along nicely. The characterization is downright realistic! From the sluty two timing upper management to the tight fisted, by the book image, of the director, and right there with the staff who actually does the work, these people are folks you might know! The story is almost too real. A well balanced read of scandal, sex, drugs, and politics.
