"""Strategy in Politics is an accessible and well-written guide for a new generation of political managers and activists. Arterton confronts the pathologies of contemporary politics, and importantly, shows how political managers can find success and pursue victory in the political arena without harming our democratic institutions."" -- Celinda Lake, President, Lake Research Partners""People often talk about political strategy without knowing what it means. In this excellent book, Arterton sheds light on this concept with clarity, rigor, and an abundance of historical examples. Strategy in Politics will be a terrific resource for academics, students, and practitioners."" -- John J. Pitney, Jr., Roy P. Crocker Professor of American Politics, Claremont McKenna College""Arterton does a masterful job of analyzing the critical role of strategy in political campaigns. He tells us not just what strategies work to elect candidates, but which ones benefit our democratic society at a time when democracy is under siege. This is a book for practitioners of politics, students, and citizens who understand, as Arterton does, that strategic campaigns are the foundation of the only practical way to frame choices for voters and guide the officeholders that result."" -- Larry J. Sabato, Director, University of Virginia Center for Politics"
