Trade Review
"Under Construction is extraordinarily well written, original, timely, and its subject matter is extremely important. Fosher's demonstration of the usefulness of an ethnographic approach to the topic is truly valuable - practitioners, planners, and policy makers especially need to read this book." - Anna Simons, author of The Company They Keep: Life Inside the U.S. Army Special Forces"
