This new book — Confessions of a Tax Collector: One Man’s Tour of Duty Inside the IRS by former 12 year IRS agent, Richard Yancey — looks potentially interesting. Mr. Yancey describes his 12 years with the IRS in which he relates everything from his General Patton-type trainer who wished he could carry a gun to his own development into someone who could close down a four-person woodworking shop for failure to pay payroll taxes and seize homes of the tax delinquent without losing sleep.
