Roger Stone opens his playbook after decades as a campaign operative for four American presidents, from Richard Nixon through Donald Trump. Stone presents his operating principles that guided his career in political warfare, media manipulation, and strategic combat. He explains his methods for handling liberals and press relations, details his marijuana legalization efforts, and shares insider knowledge about presidential campaigns. Stone also provides lifestyle guidance on tailoring, cocktail preparation, and his famous marinara sauce recipe. The book combines political strategy with personal philosophy, covering everything from campaign management techniques to internet mobilization tactics. Stone dishes on the behind-the-scenes maneuvering that shaped his victories and defeats, including his early support for Trump's presidential ambitions in 1988. This manual offers readers Stone's accumulated wisdom on navigating politics, business, and social situations with his signature blend of tactical advice and personal style.
