Features: A global bestseller in non-fiction contributed by the former speechwriter for U.S. Presidents! Brilliant! A political insider tells you about politics and how it's played. This is a must-read book, and you should have a pen ready to take notes. "Hardball" is a concept unique to this book, deeply meaningful. In this book, it refers both to the practical, bold, and tough competition game that political figures engage in to win, gain power, and achieve success, and to the various clever and powerful means and techniques they use in this "hard-fought" or "full-contact" game. In Matthew's view, the world is like a big field, or many fields, and only those who can play hardball can succeed. If a person masters the rules of the hardball game, in this world full of political maneuvering in daily life, he can win a place and achieve great success. "Hardball" is both hard and round, and it is indeed the most appropriate metaphor for the game and means of the big shots.
