In Defense of Public Service: How 22 Million Government Workers Will Save our Republic Audiobook (Free)

“Dr. Alexander . brings to this book an acute understanding of both why our cherished type of government-and those that serve us in the civil service-appears to be under such unrelenting assault and how exactly we, as people, should and must respond.”

-from the foreword by Congressman Elijah E. Cummings

When those we elect descend into partisan tribalism, criminal malfeasance, and emulation of foreign autocracies and oligarchies, Cedric Alexander says it’s the unelected apolitical “fourth branch” about In Protection of Public Service: How 22 Mil Government Workers HELPS YOU TO SAVE our Republic of government-our nation’s public servants, civil servants, and first responders-who must conserve the nation.

Alexander, a past deputy mayor, police key, and CNN commentator, argues these people do not constitute a nefarious “deep state” pursuing a hidden agenda. They are the experts, scientists, attorneys, accountants, educators, consultants, enforcers of regulations, and first responders of each kind who keep carefully the country running and its own people secure. Alexander recounts the evolution of the professional civil support as an antidote to widespread cronyism, offers types of how it has served being a bulwark against powerful corrupting influences, and describes the role it can play in getting our badly divided society jointly. To the general public, many of these 22 million people remain unseen and their contributions hidden. But now is the period to help make the invisible visible.
