Reveille for Radicals

Long before politicians and activists were using the internet to rally support and raise money, community organizer Saul Alinsky was harnessing the power of the press to promote and organize grassroots campaigns. In Reveille for Radicals, Alinsky explains how activists can achieve their goals through newspaper publicity and community involvement, while also giving advice on how to deal with police and reporters, along with other useful tips for gaining positive media coverage. First published in 1946 and updated in 1969 with a new introduction by Carmine DeSapio and an afterword by Donald Aron, this classic volume is a bold call to action that still resonates today.
