Customer Reviews
This book is field tested
This is a book of tactics -- ready to use -- in use by many groups that I am involved with. You can quickly respond to issues and situations by picking a tactic and going right to the lists of do's and don't's. Note -- this is not a book of theory or history -- this is a book of action and messaging. It is for activists, not necessarily students.
a must-have guide
Brilliant and In-depth advice on making a difference. I wanted to read a book that could help me reach out to my politicians and the media to further a very important cause to my family and me. I loved how it is organized and the way that the author interviewed experts from several different fields to make sure that the advice given is from the people who know the issue the best. It is a must read for grassroots activists and anyone wanting to make a change.
Helpful, Fun, and Interesting
This is one of the best books of it's kind. I found it really interesting to read.
