The reviewer of Donald R. Richberg’s book, The Shadow Men, writes it is a powerful story written by someone with a thorough knowledge of business and politics. The main character, John Byford, speaks of his experience as a secretary who becomes the scapegoat for the director’s misdeeds. Byford eventually realizes the men in power are not smart, they just know all the tricks and rules their opponents don’t know.
