Title: Superb
Product review: This is a book about how to play the political game to WIN. Don't get me wrong-I am conservative politically, but I recognize genius when I see it. Alinsky was a brilliant and ruthless tactician. As a book of strategy for social change, it can have no equal. He is honest about using dishonest & unfair tactics, manipulating people and the dirt nature of his game. He explains why it is OK-and makes a good case for it. The book was supremely readable. I finished half of it in one sitting (which is a real accomplishment for a dad w/ 2 young kids). His stories about particularly memorable tactics, both actual and planned were VERY funny. (Let's put it this way: You will NEVER go to an orchestral concert again without thinking of Saul Alinsky.)Unfortunately, it was interrupted by typical left-wing rants. The end of the book fell apart for me. It turned into a self-satisfied brag about genius and a plan for the future.Apart from than, this is an overall a great GREAT read.
