Hardcover. Presumed first edition/first printing. 228 p. 22 cm. From a posting on-line: "Legendary community organizer Saul Alinsky inspired a generation of activists and politicians with Reveille for Radicals, the original handbook for social change. Alinsky writes both practically and philosophically, never wavering from his belief that the American dream can only be achieved by an active democratic citizenship. First published in 1946 and updated in 1969 with a new introduction and afterword, this classic volume is a bold call to action that still resonates today." From Wikipedia: "Saul David Alinsky (January 30, 1909 June 12, 1972) was an American community organizer, and writer. He is generally considered to be the founder of modern community organizing. He is often noted for his book Rules for Radicals. In the course of nearly four decades of political organizing, Alinsky received much criticism, but also gained praise from many public figures. His organizing skills were focused on improving the living conditions of poor communities across North America. In the 1950s, he began turning his attention to improving conditions in the African-American ghettos, beginning with Chicago's and later traveling to other ghettos in California, Michigan, New York City, and a dozen other "trouble spots"."

He loved to play the game ." Orange white spine/black text. #031680 Size: 8vo. Politics.

Book First Edition Signed
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Signed and inscribed to a friend by Saul Alinsky (1909-1972) atop front free endpaper. "America's most famous community organizer tells the Have-Nots how they can organize to achieve real political power for the practice of true democracy. The distillation of Mr. Alinsky's more than forty years as a professional radical. This hard-headed tactical advice provides an alternative not only to the powerlessness that threatens our democracy but to the random violence and bitter alienation by which so much radical energy is wasted." - dust jacket. In her B.A. thesis entitled 'An Analysis of the Alinsky Model' Hillary Clinton wrote "In regard to the paper itself, there are three people who deserve special appreciation [including] Mr. Alinsky for providing a topic, sharing his time and offering me a job."
