Despite its somewhat dry and detached date-and-event style, the book documents key political economic events in the New Order while comparing statecraft to business management. Perhaps due to Bresnan's role in Ford Foundation, his account reads almost like an evaluation of the technocrats ("Berkeley Mafia") and Suharto as Foundation grantees.
I don't have much knowledge of Cold War American business style, but think the book can be read as a historical document of such.
