Greetings, We are down to six days before the election… BEST MODERN POLITICAL CAMPAIGN BOOKS Some of you may be tired of talk of politics and government. Not me. There is a rich body of literature about (a) national political campaigns, (b) California politics, and (c) the workings of government as seen through the eyes of some of the greatest practitioners of the art of politics. I’ll propose some books in the second two categories later. For now, here are my favorite books that cover the excitement, issues, posturing, policy, and planning of political campaigns. Some would describe these books as the “second draft” of history; the first being the news reporting at the time. These retrospectives offer a peek into the workings of campaigns and help explain their successes and failures.
