Klappentext zu „How to Win an Election “
How to Win an Election is an ancient Roman guide for campaigning that is as up-to-date as tomorrow's headlines. In 64 BC when idealist Marcus Cicero, Rome's greatest orator, ran for consul (the highest office in the Republic), his practical brother Quintus decided he needed some no-nonsense advice on running a successful campaign. What follows in his short letter are timeless bits of political wisdom, from the importance of promising everything to everybody and reminding voters about the sexual scandals of your opponents to being a chameleon, putting on a good show for the masses, and constantly surrounding yourself with rabid supporters. Presented here in a lively and colorful new translation, with the Latin text on facing pages, this unashamedly pragmatic primer on the humble art of personal politicking is dead-on (Cicero won)--and as relevant today as when it was written.

Autoren-Porträt von Cicero
Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 v. Chr.) römischer Staatsmann, Redner und Philosoph, studierte Recht, Rhetorik, Literatur und Philosophie in Rom. Sein Durchbruch als Anwalt und Politiker gelang ihm 70 v. Chr. im Prozess gegen Verres, 64 v. Chr. wurde er gegen Catilina zum Konsul gewählt. Als dieser einen Staatsstreich zum Sturz der Regierung organisierte, deckte Cicero die Verschwörung auf und ließ Angehörige der Gruppe hinrichten. Nach einjährigem Exil wurde er von Pompeius nach Rom zurückgerufen. Cicero wurde am 7. Dezember 43 v. Chr. ermordet.

Rezension zu „How to Win an Election “
"In his election advice to his brother Marcus, Quintus Cicero shows himself to be a master political strategist with a clear understanding of opposition research, organization, and turnout (though a little weak on message). Fresh, lively, and sharp, this primer provides timeless counsel and a great read for the modern political practitioner."--Karl Rove, former deputy chief of staff and senior advisor to President George W. Bush
