Reviews
"Denton dutifully reports Bechtel's denials of influence-peddling but plainly doesn't believe them. Instead, she maps coincidences between the government tenure of a Bechtel executive, such as George Schultz, and projects his former agency later awarded to Bechtel. However readers view the company, Denton's extensively researched work informs readers about the firm's maintenance as a privately held concern during its growth into a huge, multinational enterprise." - Booklist, "In this compelling corporate history, she artfully detail show Bechtel accrued power by exploiting the "revolving door of capitalism," through which its executives have glided effortlessly, moving between the company headquarters and the corridors of power in the nation's capital."
