Bill Angel gives an entertaining narrative of his campaign to oust a local Democratic party Chairman in small-town Lima Ohio. In the early 1980's, in a county where the Democrats are outmanned by Republicans, and saddled with an ineffective party leadership, Bill Angel is recruited by a team that believes their party can do better. Angel and his team organize a challenge to the sitting Chairman and pull off the upset taking control of the party apparatus. Then the tough part begins. Running a political party that is expected to do poorly by potential donors and potential candidates makes for a challenging environment. In this book Angel brings you there. You experience the promise of change in the organization, and the dissolution of fighting the uphill battle of electing candidates from the "wrong party". If you have always wondered about the inside working of party politics this is a great read for you. Or if you are a party insider who enjoys hearing political war stories, you won't be disappointed here.
