In The Loyalty Trap, Jaime Lee Kucinskas rigorously addresses a critical contemporary governance crisis: the rise of autocracy and its profound impact on public organizations.She examines the increasingly urgent dilemma of civil servants trapped between their duty to the public good and the morally compromising demands of authoritarian power.This precarious ethical position, highlighted during the first Trump administration, takes on even greater urgency with the advent of the second.The phenomenon bears significant political, administrative, organizational, and personal implications for government workers and the citizenry.
