The term war room, in political parlance, was coined by the team
of U.S. strategists (specifically James Carville) who worked for
Bill Clinton's first presidential campaign in the early 1990s. In a
nutshell, a war room is a political command centre where a
candidate's strategists and media officers work to counter attacks
by opponents while gathering research to mount an offensive in an
ongoing, immediate fashion.
Warren Kinsella's The War Room profiles and analyzes some of the
best political warriors and spinners around. He employs personal
anecdotes, political wisdom culled from his extensive experience on
Liberal Party federal and provincial election campaigns, historical
examples from other Canadian and American campaigns, and generous
amounts of humour to deliver a book about what it takes to survive
challenges not just in politics but in any kind of business or
non-governmental agency, whether it sells music, movies, cars, or
computers, or raises money to preserve the environment, combat
cancer, or save animals.
