Hardball: How Politics Is Played, Told by One Who Knows the Game is a political nonfiction book by Chris Matthews, first published in 1988 and later revised and updated. Drawing on his experience as a congressional staffer, presidential speechwriter, and long-time Washington insider, Matthews presents a practical account of how power operates in American politics. The book is less a civics lesson than a field guide to political behavior, focusing on strategy, alliances, reputation, rivalry, and deal-making. Its style is direct and anecdotal, using examples from Capitol Hill, the White House, and the broader culture of Washington to show that political success often depends on negotiation and tactical discipline rather than idealism alone. Readers looking for a window into the rules, habits, and pressures of professional politics will find it a revealing, if sometimes dated, insider narrative.
