Summary: One of the TOP 10 Books I have Ever Read
Comment: This is an EXCELLENT book! If you are looking for a good primer on the art of politics, look no further. I have read a lot of books on politics and this and Bare Knuckles and Back Rooms and Hill Rat are the two best by far.
Mr. Mathews is an excellent writer and he spent years working on Capitol Hill. Mr. Mathews uses good examples of polititians winning (or losing) at different aspects of politics and campaigning. The best chapters IMHO include: Spin, Hang a Lantern on Your Problem, and Leave No Shot Unanswered. Mr. Mathews uses a lot of humor in his book and he does a great job introducing the novice to politics.
If you read and study this book you can't go wrong. This book is perfect for any Political Science/Government student or to a person considering and run for office. Nearly every staffer and volunteer I have ever known has it in their library.
If you don't read this book, you are at quite a disadvantage in politics (IMHO).
Heck, I'm a Republican and I still loved it.

Summary: the only way to really learn politics.....
Comment: For an undergraduate Political Science major, there is no better piece of literature to teach the truth of the political scene in America. Through intriguing and often comedic anecdotes, Matthews lays out how politicians operate, how to get things done and how to make the right friends in any political field. Easy to read and follow, Hardball evokes an interest in the reader that makes it hard to put down. Matthews opens the introduction with the statement that it is not a civics book; after reading it, it is obvious that Hardball does something that no civics book can. It creates a genuine interest through honest truth.

Summary: Political Must Have
Comment: I was given this when I moved to Washington to work for a U.S. Senator by a friend who had worked in Washington for a few years. It is a must read if you have any interest in politics, even if you don't this is a good read and good knowledge for everyone.
