The book presents a novel theory of how networks of organizations
work, what varieties are possible and how their strengths and
weaknesses differ. The argument is illustrated using four case
studies in which networks of firms and organizations in defence
contracting, biotechnology, health care and combating crime and
disorder are examined. The book will be of major interest to
scholars and students of business and management, public
management, public policy, organizational sociology and to
practising managers.

From the speechwriter and top adviser to presidents Kennedy and
Johnson: A behind-the-scenes history of the most momentous decade
in American politics. Richard N. Goodwin entered public service in
1958 as a law clerk for Supreme Court Associate Justice Felix
Frankfurter. He left politics ten years later in the aftermath of
Senator Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination. Over the course of one
extraordinary decade, Goodwin orchestrated some of the noblest
achievements in the history of the US government and bore witness
to two of its greatest tragedies. His eloquent and inspirational
memoir is one of the most captivating chronicles of those turbulent
years ever published. From the Twenty-One quiz-show
scandal to the heady days of John F. Kennedy’s presidential
campaign to President Lyndon Johnson’s heroic vote wrangling on
behalf of civil rights legislation, Remembering
America brings to life the most fascinating figures and
events of the era. As a member of the Kennedy administration,
Goodwin charted a new course for US relations with Latin America
and met in secret with Che Guevara in Uruguay. He wrote Johnson’s
historic civil rights speech, “We Shall Overcome,” in support
of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and formulated the concept of the
Great Society and its programs, which sought to eradicate poverty
and racial injustice. After breaking with Johnson over the
president’s commitment to the Vietnam War, Goodwin played a
pivotal role in bringing antiwar candidate Eugene McCarthy to
within a few hundred votes of victory in the 1968 New Hampshire
primary. Three months later, he was with his good friend Robert F.
Kennedy in Los Angeles the night that the young senator’s
life—and the progressive movement that had rapidly brought about
such significant change—came to a devastating end. Throughout
this critical decade, Goodwin held steadfast to the passions and
principles that had first led him to public
service. Remembering America is a thrilling account of
the breathtaking victories and heartbreaking disappointments of the
1960s, and a rousing call to action for readers committed to
justice today.
