硬球：政治是这样玩的
美国总统演讲撰稿人贡献的畅销书
英文版突破300万册
权力游戏的14条制胜法则
献给这个政治无所不在的世界
有人的地方就有政治。这里的政治是指“关系”——对每个人的成功都至关重要的各种人际关系。这本书正是一个懂得这种政治的人写给所有人的14堂“关系”谋略课。
作者克里斯·马修斯曾担任美国总统吉米·卡特的演讲撰稿人，数十年生活在政坛高层的台前幕后，经历、目睹了许多政治人物的沉浮成败。他从中总结出来的这些政坛成败的潜在法则是人际关系的普遍真理，适用于在政坛、商界、职场锐意进取的每个人。
索取比给予还好——人们是不会介意为别人所用的，他们介意的是不被别人重视。
让你的敌人站在你的面前——要亲近你的朋友，但要更加亲近你的敌人。
对任何飞来之箭都要一一反击——对任何一个谎言如果置之不理，24小时之内它就会变成真理。
说话是为了更好地沉默——有时候沉默是一种比伶牙俐齿更为有效的武器。
克里斯?马修斯（Christopher J. Matthews）
20世纪70年代初，克里斯·马修斯口袋里揣着200美元，来到华盛顿，雄心勃勃地希望能进入政坛。他在这里没有任何关系，于是列了一个从他的家乡和周围地区来到华盛顿的民主党议员的名单，一个一个地联系、拜访。在口袋里只剩下80美元的时候，他找到了一份在国会山做警察的工作，每天下午3点到11点执勤，上班以前的时间在参议员弗兰克·莫斯的办公室工作。此后不断扩展的人脉让他的政治生涯一帆风顺。他担任过美国第39任总统吉米·卡特的演讲撰稿人，还做过众议院议长蒂普·奥尼尔的首席助理兼发言人，活跃在华盛顿的政治高层。但在这部总结华盛顿官场竞争手段的著作《硬球》出版之后，他才真正被普通美国人熟知，成为一个家喻户晓的人物。这本书树立了他“政治游戏分析师”“当代马基雅维利”的名声，是他成为各媒体竞相聘请的政治评论员；全美广播公司电视网甚至专门开设了一个名为“硬球”的电视节目，克里斯·马修斯是当仁不让的主持人。

写给所有人的１４堂政治课
请注意，这不是一本公民学或市政学之类的教材。它呈现给世人的不是种种纯洁无瑕的程序与制度，而是并非天使的不完美的人类。它不是要对这个国家或者其他任何国家的领袖们应该如何正确地做人做事进行空洞刻板的说教，而是站在一个熟知内幕者的角度揭示领袖们有时过于离经叛道或令人咋舌的行为。相应地，它所围绕的主题并非历史浩浩荡荡的行进历程，而是无时无刻不在的对权力、地位和荣誉的追逐，以及为了在华盛顿获得一席之地而进行的你死我活的争斗。
首先让我解释一下本书的标题：硬球或者说硬式棒球游戏，在这里指的是角逐激烈的政治游戏，一种彻头彻尾的马基雅维利式搏击。它集中体现了获取和保持权力所需要奉行的法则，这些法则适用于任何行业或领域，但在公共事务领域得到了为公开的、肆无忌当的运用。
我初在眼前写下上面这段话时，我没有想到这本书会成为一部备受推崇的经典：许多讲求实际的政治家将其奉为圣经，拿来指导自己的行动；首席执行官们爱不释手，将它放进自己的公文包里随身携带；事业刚刚起步的年轻人一遍又一遍地翻读这本书，似乎里面有掘取宝藏的路线图；政治学教授郑重其事地向学生推荐，将其列入书目；“硬球”这个术语本身也是广泛流传，成为美国人家喻户晓的一大用语。
亲爱的读者，对于你来说，你现在尤其关心的是，这里所讲的政治游戏的基本法则，是如何一直被证实为颠扑不破的真理的。书中所讲的那些政治智慧，无论是我取自约翰·F·肯尼迪、理查德尼克松和林登约翰逊高人一等的竞技记录，还是来自我对罗纳德里根及与他难分伯仲的蒂普奥尼尔的亲眼目睹，到今天都越发耀眼夺目、显而易见了。比尔克林顿不止一次地为我们提供了关于旋转角色的生动示范。南非的纳尔逊曼德拉向我们展示了向前推进而不是与对手扯平的巨大好处。而那些像纽特金里奇那样不怎么幸运的政治领袖则在付出了沉重的代价之后，懂得了说话是为了更好地沉默的道理。
当我在1988年写作这本书时，我的另一个目的是娱乐。对于那些整日生活在无形的刀光剑影中的政治家来说，政治生涯是一种丰富多彩的人生体验。在后面的章节中，你将会欣赏到真实坦率的描述，看到一些驰名遐迩的风云人物是如何实现自己的雄心，登上辉煌的权力的。你会碰到一些似乎是不可思议的成功故事，里面的主人公学会了游戏法则，并在实践中游刃有余地加以运用，终取得胜利。
