Media Reviews
A thoroughly entertaining book about modern-day American politics and how it's played. . . . Hardball is a must-read textbook that should be read with a marker. --The Wall Street Journal
Every so often a writer reads a book so incisive and so good that when he finally puts it down he says, 'Damn, I wish I had written this.' I just finished Christopher Matthews' Hardball. And damn, I wish I had written this. --Stephen Stark The Washington Post
People will be quoting Hardball as long as the game of politics is played. --Hendrik Hertzberg The New Yorker
Chris Matthews hits a political homer with Hardball. For political sagacity and humor, this ranks with the work of George Washington Plunkitt. --William Safire
