How to Win an Election: An Ancient Guide for Modern Politicians

"In his elections advice to him to his brother Marcus, Quintus Cicero shows himself to be a master political strategist with clear understanding of opposition research, organization, and turnout (though a little weak on message). Fresh, lively, and sharp, this primer provides timeless counsel and great read for modern political practioner"

- Karl Rove, former deputy chief of staff and senior adviser to President George W. Bush

"Given the lowly state of politics these days, this ancient Roman handbook on electioneering shows how little has changed. Freeman has done a masterful job of bringing his delightful text into modern day - so masterful that one might think it was actually a spoof."

- Gary Hart, former U.S. senator

"Loaded with down-and-dirty advice on how to sway voters and win office in ancient Rome, this practical campaign handbook offers shameless hints for political hopefuls of any era: making and breaking promises, networking and calling in favors, spreading rumors, appealing to special interests, speechifying, pressing the flesh, and more. Wickedly funny, astute, and timeless?!"
