I'm not sure how to review this. Steele writes an engaging description of working with politicians that seems to confirm all ones fears of politicians being slimy and useless and then how to hold their feet to the fire - but you might need to read a couple other books and get some hand-holding from an insider to make progress - unless you have more power than most regular citizens. Real power, media savvy, a coalition of grassroots behind you, money, I don't know.
