Resumen del Editor

First published in 1971, Rules for Radicals is Saul Alinsky's impassioned counsel to young radicals on how to effect constructive social change and know "the difference between being a realistic radical and being a rhetorical one." Written in the midst of radical political developments whose direction Alinsky was one of the first to question, this volume exhibits his style at its best. Like Thomas Paine before him, Alinsky was able to combine, both in his person and his writing, the intensity of political engagement with an absolute insistence on rational political discourse and adherence to the American democratic tradition.

Why and How Trump Win's!

a very schrewd and practical understanding of how to create and maintain pressure for real change.

A Brilliant Man, A Dangerous Idea, Well Performed

Saul gives really interesting insights into the inner workings of organized social movements and tells tails of masterful choreography of political mudslinging and manipulation. It is important to keep in mind, however that radicalism is friend to no man and when it gets what it is powerful, leaves people in graves. That said, this is a fantastic educational piece and ought to be regarded as a classic of organizational philosophy!

needs warning

good lessons but rough to listen to! needs an intro or something to warn us

Very informative

It appears that BLM, ANTIFA and the Democrats are huge fans of Mr. Saul Alinsky!

unimpressive.

read well, but the content odd lame, scorn when the time frame in which this was written is considered. more propaganda.

Very good education Understanding Radicals.

Also I listened to books that were read a little bit more excitingly than this one, The value and education of the thinking mentality of the radical mind was an excellent story to hear. The methodology and thinking capability present very intelligent ideas that border on scary. The ideology behind getting what you want I'm going to almost any lengths to achieve it with dedicated creativity Warrants reading this book with caution and intelligence.

Machiavelli for the Have-Not's

Contains vulgarity that detract from the book. Without doubt a book you must have on your political science bookshelf. Describes the ethics and tactics and personal traits that enable those without power to take it from those who do. Alinsky speaks from the political left but activists across the political spectrum will benefit from his insights.

disturbing but informative

I have often heard him referred to but I wanted to hear for myself. I can see how people followed him.

Good to meet you, Saul Alinsky!

For years and years I heard the name Saul Alinsky mentioned on right wing media,most often in a disparaging tone. I figured that the man is likely a decent human being if he's not liked by the likes of FoxNews, Limbaugh, and we'll you know the sort. My hunch was right. Saul Alinsky was a very decent human being.

This book is brilliant.

Many people have been critical of this book for the tactics and politics described. I don't agree with Sal's politics but the man knew what he was talking about. If you are ready to affect change you need to read this and apply it to your situation.
