Legendary community organizer Saul Alinsky inspired a generation of activists and politicians with Reveille for Radicals, the original handbook for social change. Alinsky writes both practically and philosophically, never wavering from his belief that the American dream can only be achieved by an active democratic citizenship. First published in 1946 and updated in 1969 with a new introduction and afterword, this classic volume is a bold call to action that still resonates today.

Put in the parlance of military action - not too far off from some aspects of community activism - these two books serve the same purpose via two different means.
This book, Reveille for Radicals would be akin to 'why we fight.' Alinsky provides his philosophical rationale behind community activism to those who are not ingratiated to the work and confirms the benevolence of the task to those already struggling in the activity. He incorporates letters, or "reports", from those already organizing to purport what is effective and some correspondence to highlight what is less productive. This book, as reveille conjures up, is a call to arms; a rallying call to enlist more activists. It really also hopes to be the "glue" by which disassociated groups hope to adhere to one goal.
Conversely, his second book, Rules for Radicals, would be a dissertation on strategy. He discusses and enumerates rules or tactics. Again, Alinsky provides personal and compatriot anecdotes to buttress the rationale of these tactics.
Subject aside, the writing is clear and effective.
