I've read most of Lewis' books. I like his style and he does a pretty good job at explaining the problem. Usually he does it as a hero's journey that makes the story interesting. He also picks a villain. I have not read this book but the CDC seems to be the bad guy here. If not bad, incompetent. I'm no fan of big governmental agencies but I hate it when so many outstanding members of an organization get painted with a thick brush of incompetents'. I have no doubt that the agency will go through a period of reform and in a few years it will be billed as the best CDC ever. But at any time bad leadership can taint its abilities. The failure was really a failure of leadership. Incompetent people were picked to lead the agency. I think we need to keep in mind that leaders matter and we have to make sure that the best ones are selected and not be swayed by politics.
