Academic Look at Campaigns
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Not a bad book. Thurber presents American campaigns from an academic perspective in describing how they operate and how they have changed over time.This is less of a practical or "how to" book than a descriptive treatise on campaign practices. It is valuable in introducing the reader to the why's and hows of modern campaigning in America. A person who is looking for a guide to organizing their own run for local office will find this book interesting, but will want to supplement it with one of the many more practical books on the subject...I'm teaching a course in elective politics at the University of Pennsylvania's Fels Center of Government. This is one of the required reading books for the course and is also used by some other teachers in the field at colleges and universities around the country.

I'm a graduate student from Taiwan. I study in Graduate Institute of American Studies of Tamkang University. My professor wants each of us to have this book and read it closely. Although I haven't got the book yet. But according to my professor's recommendation. I think this should be a very good book to understand how election won.
