Condi Authors New Book on Campaigning
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is the co-author of a new book about politics, “The Strategy of Campaigning: Lessons from Ronald Reagan and Boris Yeltsin.”
The book explores the political careers of Reagan and Yeltsin, “two of the most galvanizing and often controversial political figures of our time,” according to its publisher, The University of Michigan Press.
“Both men overcame defeat early in their political careers and rose to the highest elected offices in their respective countries.”
Former Secretary of State George Schultz writes in the book’s Foreword: “What makes the book important is the ability of the authors to relate this rich factual material to ideas about strategy — ideas from which future campaigners can benefit.”
Rice’s co-authors are Kiron Skinner, an associate professor of history and political science at Carnegie Mellon University; Serhiy Kudelia, an adjunct lecturer and Ph.D. candidate at Johns Hopkins University; and Bruce Bueno de Mesquita, Julius Silver Professor in the Wilf Family Department of Politics at New York University.
It looks a lot like a college textbook. If Condoleezza knows a lot about campaigning, maybe she should try it herself! I just hate it when she teases us like this! Condi, the time to jump in the race is now!
