Book Description
In presenting the ideal skills, abilities, and qualities of a successful politico, The Capitol Hill Playbook speaks to today's generation of staffers like no other book before it. Weaving together Renaissance-era political philosophies and contemporary illustrations, Nicholas Balthazar enlists the help of Niccol� Machiavelli, author of the venerable political treatise The Prince, and Baldassare Castiglione, author of The Book of the Courtier-the authoritative account of Renaissance court life-to demonstrate two models of political life and their applicability today. Balthazar offers readers a path between these two methods, exploring the mechanics of working for elected officials but also discussing the philosophies behind contemporary political work. The Capitol Hill Playbook answers all the questions a newly hired staffer might want to ask:
- Why do politicians run for office?
- Why is devotion so important in politics?
- Why must a staffer be a good communicator?
- Why are friendships such an essential and elusive part of political life?
- How do you win a political knife fight?
- Why should a political staffer never wear a bow tie to the office?
- And more!
