CEO Stanley B. Greenberg Releases Latest Book: "Dispatches From the War Room"

Washington, DC. February 19, 2009. Greenberg Quinlan Rosner is proud to announce the release of Stanley B. Greenberg’s latest book, Dispatches from the War Room: In the Trenches with Five Extraordinary Leaders, which hit book shelves across the country February 17, 2009.

A memoir offering the ultimate political insider account and look inside the war room, this book chronicles Greenberg’s role as pollster to five of the world’s most extraordinary leaders - Bill Clinton, Nelson Mandela, Tony Blair, Ehud Barak and Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada - both during their campaigns and in their subsequent administrations. Dispatches takes a self-critical look at pollster’s role, often viewed by today's media as a black art, and redefines it as an important part of bridging the gap between politicians and people.

Advance Praise for Dispatches:

“Stan Greenberg has produced the political equivalent of Dean Acheson's classic, Present at the Creation. No single strategist has done more to lay the foundation for modern progressive politics—across the globe. Here Stan tells how it happened.” --George Stephanopoulos

“No political professional has seen, shaped or been part of more history in more places than Stan Greenberg. This book could only be written by Stan Greenberg and is a must read." --James Carville

“Greenberg doesn't get bogged down in jargon, and the strength of the book lies in his insider perspective on the leaders who helped shape this century. He astutely assesses their strengths and weaknesses to discover why some succeeded and others failed in bringing their governing vision to fruition. Perhaps his most important contribution is his perspective on the role of pollsters, which he sees as bringing public opinion into the realm of politics, as he writes, ‘The fundamental lesson is that people matter because elections matter.’”--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Lifts the curtain on the global pollster/consultant business. [Greenberg’s] candor and wide range of experience makes for an illuminating memoir. High-octane politics laid bare." --Kirkus Reviews
