Book Reviews of Buck Up, Suck Up . . . and Come Back When You Foul Up: 12 Winning Secrets from the War Room

Book Review: No break through but good advice
Summary: 4 Stars

Judging from this book I'm sure campaigning is never dull with these guys around. Maybe there's a few too many smarts remarks for my liking, and maybe they don't present you with a gigantic break through in political or media science. But behind all the wise cracks you actually find some good advice if you're planning a high profile career - especially in politics. Allthough based on American experiences the basic rules laid out by Carville and Begala are highly applicable to the European scene - mainly because the two consultants are the key inspiration for European political campaigning.
If you're already a spin doctor - the advice given will not surprise you (well, maybe part of it will). But if you're new to the game this is an easy to read introduction and a must read for all aspiring political leaders!
