About this Item

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."
