• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Timed to re-release simultaneously with Chris Matthews's new book Jack Kennedy, which Simon & Schuster will publish this fall, this national bestseller explores the fascinating, largely unknown, relationship between Nixon and Kennedy and the crucial ways in which it shaped them--and the nation. Hardball is a tough, funny, tell-all revelation of how politics really works. From tales of raw ambition and brutal rivalry to behind-the-scenes stories of famous disagreements, Matthews reveals the truth about master politicians such as JFK, LBJ, and Richard Nixon, while he explains the real meaning of rules such as "Only talk when it improves the silence;" "Positioning is everything;" and "Always concede on principle." Whether addicted to Washington politics or office politics, readers will enjoy this unprecedented guide to grown-ups' favorite game--the game of position, power, and survival in the world today.
