"What the rest have done, when placed alongside this book, seems on a plane with offerings of greeting card writers." -- Sydney Hyman, New York Times

To Be a Politician,
By Candy Burns (Washington D.C.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: To Be a Politician (Paperback)
I highly recommend "To Be a Politician." The book not only gives understanding of the politician's life, but also is written with a sense of humor. Every sentence is packed with meaning. If I were abandoned on an island, "To Be a Politician" is one of the books I'd like to have with me. Candy Burns

To Be A Politician by Stimson Bullitt,
By "rehcana@yahoo.com" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: To Be a Politician (Paperback)
To Be A Politician is simply one of the finest books on politics I have ever read. It is such a deeply insightful and enjoyable read, and so difficult to put down, that I devoured it entirely in several mesmerized sittings. Mr. Bullitt is as erudite as he is modest, compassionate and amusing, with an urbane style and polished wit reminiscent of the late Bertrand Russell. I cannot recommend his book highly enough to the student, the teacher, the amateur politician or the political historian - to anyone with an interest in the enterprize of public service.

To Be a Politician,
By
This review is from: To be a Politician (Hardcover)
To Be a Politician reads as well today as it did when Stim
Bullitt wrote it (and I first read it, 36 years ago). Provocative, insightful, sometimes even amusing, its message is as timely now as then. Bullitt lost the election campaign he so well describes, but this book remains a winner. Bob Faw, National Correspondent, NBC News
