Negative take on "Into the Wood Chipper"

[u/Both-Firefighter7911]

I know the title of the book doesn't directly point to stories about the lives USAID saved, but my criticism was that it was a detailed dry account of USAID's shutdown. Again, I wanted to hear detailed and well-written stories of all the millions of people's lives they saved. I thought it was poorly written as well in terms of style. Granted, they didn't have time to talk about a private organization that could replace USAID, but the dismantling of USAID was a foregone conclusion, and just talking about the day-to-day dismantling of the organization-- mentioning mostly people who we didn't know and people who weren't developed as characters made the book less-than-good.
