"Explores the killer diseases that have terrified populations throughout history and around the world"--P. [4] of cover.

In the spirit of Orwell''s ANIMAL FARM, THE RUNNING DOGS OF LOYALTY is a penetrating, critical-minded satirical analysis of the motives, frauds, & lies of supervisors, managers, & CEOs in modern bureaucracies. This little book is destined for the personal bookshelf of every frustrated office worker. Set in a cage in Zooland, two old, wise Foxes describe how the zoo really works to a young Pup. This allegory is intended for those free-thinking adults over 30 who are tired of being bossed by incompetent, deceitful, self-serving managers who loot the work of others by surrounding themselves with Barking Seals, Baboons, &-worst of all- Running Dogs of Loyalty. "Whose interests do you think get served by these endless reorganizations?" said Sly Fox with agitation, "Remember: The most important thing to Top Baboon is that HE be Top Baboon. The other ranking Baboons, in turn, seek to keep their rank as well. When Top Baboon speaks of loyalty to Zooland he means loyalty to him. Order means his orders. So you see, a reorganization is not a reorganization at all. Just the opposite. It is a savage purge designed to ensure that the structure of Zooland remains exactly the way it is. Power loves power. Power serves power. Nothing else. Ever. To that end nobody is important, everybody is dispensable." After a pause, he added wryly, "As the Huskie says: If you are not the lead Dog, the scenery never changes." Paperback Price: $9.95, plus $4.50 postage & handling. Discounts for volume orders.
