"Taking on the System" -- definitely worth taking on

This is a must read book. And, I don't think I've ever said that about any book we reviewed here on AMERICAblog.

Markos gave me a copy of his new book about a month ago when I was in California. I finished it before I got back to D.C. When I read books these days, I want to be entertained or I want to learn something. "Taking on the System" achieved both goals.

Anyone who reads and devours the progressive blogs will love "Taking on the System." Markos is a great storyteller -- and he weaves lessons about winning -- and organizing and new technologies -- into those stories. You'll recognize a lot of the names and many of the anecdotes. And, you'll realize how far we've progressed since the dark days of 2002 before there really was a progressive blogosphere. Throughout the book, he honors some of the people who have become our netroots heroes by taking on the system -- and winning.

"Taking on the System: Rules for Radical Change in a Digital Era" is available August 20th. Seems like there's already quite a buzz about the book. The publisher moved up the release date by a couple weeks. You can pre-order it here or order it from your local book seller.

Get the book. Read it. You'll be inspired. And, think of all the people who loathe the liberal blogs and Markos (e.g. Bill O'Reilly) who are going to be seething as this books moves up the charts.
