Product Description
As a senatorial aide, presidential speechwriter, and right-hand man to Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill, Christopher Matthews has seen it all--now he tells all while revealing the political "hardball" played by some of the great politicians. Matthews is currently Washington Bureau Chief for the San Francisco Examiner.
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.

 Hardball August 13, 2008
This book is required reading for an advanced government class. Although it was listed as slightly used it is virtually brand new. Delivery was prompt as promised.
 Review on Chris Matthew's "Hardball" January 1, 2008
I have really enjoyed this book. If one has an interest in politics, this book explains how the game of politics is really played.
 Drivel from a Shill November 14, 2007

More drivel from the liberal shill that is Chris Matthews. The most partisan person on cable news programs, none of what this guy has to say is interesting and this book confirms it. Waste of money. Read someone else like Mark Levin if you want to learn something. I'd give it zero stars if they allowed it.
Great Book November 1, 2007
Chris Matthews, one of my favorite pundits. Good book to keep in the political, reference section.

Matthews writes with such voice. The book can compel even the apolitical. A must read.
