"In this blistering exposé, former World Bank employee Berkman demonstrates how the World Bank's mission to 'alleviate poverty' has been derailed by corruption, a 'bloated bureaucracy' and mismanagement....His criticisms and prescriptions are clear and well-supported by scores of photocopies of internal memos and project documents....The book is a fascinating firsthand account of the bank's failures, and its case studies—notably sections on bank projects in Nigeria and the Gambia—make for a valuable and important read."
