Outsourced — R. J. Hillhouse — disappointingT
Review of: Outsourced by Hillhouse, Raelynn
This was eagerly anticipated. The author knows her stuff about the world of "black" operations and she has done a major public service by raising public awareness about outsourcing in the intelligence budget. But the book itself is overly full of technojargon; I found it hard to identify with the protagonist; and most importantly, the plot (which concerns CIA v DOD conflict using "outsourced" contractors") is part of the problem, not part of the solution. By which I mean the book is written from very much a "US-centric" perspective; as if U.S. government bureaucratic squabbles are the center of the universe.
