A couple of people on this comment section seriously need to get a life--they make the author out as if he is dangerous, and he's not. One of Saul Alinsky's tactics to influence people in power was to go into a opera house with a group and fart loudly--this is 'dangerous', 'borderline illegal' as they claim? This was a small-time tenant organizer from Chicago who assisted poor people trying to get better living conditions. If you actually read the book, you'd see his tactics are non-violent and work within the political system--not overthrowing it (he encourages people to become 'proxy voters' of shareholders in major corporations). He wrote this back in 1971, and his advice is still practical and smart. As for the half-star critics out there, you are either young and naive, or you're older and intentionally trying to misled potential readers. Wow--you mislead a few people from reading a book on non-violently organizing poor people. Turn off the AM radio, and get a life. Please.
