Amazon.com Review
Hardball, first published in 1988, is like a modern version of Machiavelli's The Prince, only much more richly illustrated, with anecdotes drawn from talk-show host Chris Matthews's stint as a congressional staffer (where he worked for, among others, renowned Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill). Discussing such basic principles as "It's not who you know; it's who you get to know" and "Don't get mad, don't get even--get ahead," Matthews not only dishes out choice Washington insider info, he has over the years inspired many readers to apply his principles for political success to their own professional lives.
Product Description
How politics is played by one who knows the game... Chris Matthews has spent a quarter century on the playing field of American politics -- from righthand man of Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill to host of NBC's highest rated cable talk show Hardball. In this revised and updated edition of his political classic, he offers fascinating new stories of raw ambition, brutal rivalry, and exquisite seduction and reveals the inside rules that govern the game of power.

 Wish I'd read this 20 years ago November 3, 2009
Business Reader (TX USA)
Great read with pages of wisdom on political survival. Hard to put down this book. These pearls of wisdom apply just as much to the business world. I wish I had read and learned from this book 20 years ago when I was first starting my career.
An Intersting Read August 26, 2009
Joshua Landeros (Perris, CA USA)
This book is great for those who would like to dive deeper into politics. It's simplified but it's still no "Politics for Dummies" and one should hav a basic understandingof a few major poiltical events, both old and new.

If you want to completely waste your time by reading a monumentally unimportant book,then you can read this garbage.This guy thinks he knows the game,how its played,etc.He is actually a big part of the dumbing down and brainwashing of America.That is his game and he does it in the most dorky,chicken#%&! way humanly possible.If you want to know how the game is played,check out books by people who will give you the truth behind the show,not by these lame keepers of the lies like Dorkball here.The main Lie is 911.Look into it.Chris is nothing but an undeserving high paid dose of Dork!

Reads like it was written by a seven year old. Don't waste your money and time.
I loved this book! April 30, 2009
Ryan Clinite (West Hollywood, California)
Being a political junkie, I flew through this book in a few hours. Great look at some of the broad movements of politics that relates to everyday life. Really enjoyed this. Thanks Chris!
