Reviews
"The reissue of a political action guidebook that has withstood the evolution of American government. Originally published in 1971 and preceding a prolific oeuvre of treatises and foreign policy critiques, Walzer's first political call to action resonates as much in today's tense, precarious climate as it did when the author originally crafted it...Throughout this brief, lucid guide, he illustrates the sequential steps necessary to become active in citizen politics...Walzer's potent manual validates protest movements of the past while underscoring the relevance of resistance initiatives in the contemporary political climate....an inspired political motivating tool and an erudite work of political food for thought. An authoritative master plan for forming effective, influential citizen activism." -- Kirkus Reviews "Michael Walzer's originality lies in his ability to extend the work of his precursors into new fields." --John Murray Cuddihy, The New York Times "Michael Walzer [is] the unanointed dean of the American left." -- The Wall Street Journal "[A] stable and prudent approach to political action." -- Virginia Quarterly Review "[One]of the truly significant American political thinkers of our time." --William A. Gaston, Political Theory, "Michael Walzer's originality lies in his ability to extend the work of his precursors into new fields." --John Murray Cuddihy, The New York Times "Michael Walzer [is] the unanointed dean of the American left." -- The Wall Street Journal "[A] stable and prudent approach to political action." -- Virginia Quarterly Review "[One]of the truly significant American political thinkers of our time." --William A.

Synopsis
Political theorist Michael Walzer's classic guide is a perfect introduction to social activism, including what-to-do advice for deciding which issues to take on, organizing, fundraising, and providing effective leadership Political Action is a how-to book for activists that was written at one of the darkest moments of the Nixon administration and remains no less timely and intelligent and useful today. Michael Walzer draws on his extensive engagement in the civil rights and antiwar movements of the 1960s to lay out the practical steps necessary to keep movement politics alive both in victory and in defeat. What do people need to do when out of outrage or fear of looming disaster they come together to demand change? Should they focus on one or several issues? Should they form coalitions? What can and can't be accomplished through electoral politics? How can movements operate democratically? What is effective leadership? Walzer addresses such questions with clarity, concision, wisdom, and wit in a book that everywhere insists not only on the centrality of movement politics to the health of democratic societies but on the deep satisfaction that is to be found there. Political Action is both an indispensable resource for activists and a lasting and inspiring summons to arms.
