Chris Matthews now reveals the secrets of how they got to the top. Life’s a Campaign exposes the tactics, tricks, and truths that help people get ahead–and can help you, too. Life’s a Campaign is useful investigative reporting. You’ll benefit from his scrutiny of the Congress, the White House, and the national news media. Here are the methods that presidents, senators, and other powerful people use to persuade others and win–and the life lessons they provide for the rest of us. You’ll learn how Ronald Reagan employed his basic optimism to win; the simple steps in human diplomacy that the first President Bush exploited to assemble a worldwide posse to attack Saddam Hussein and gain global approval; how Nancy Pelosi became the first woman Speaker of the House by practicing the most fundamental of human qualities: hard-nosed loyalty. You’ll find out about Matthews’s own ride through the turbulent rapids of politics and journalism. Condition: Very good / Very good.
