Show Me a Hero is book I just finished - a gripping story featuring situations that I can really appreciated from my time on the Alameda City Council.
Lisa Belkin is a seasoned report, with significant tenure at the NY Times She does a thorough job of recounting politics and community organizing in a highly charged atmosphere. I think this should be required reading for anyone running for or currently serving on a City Council.
Incidentally, the HBO series made based on the book is worth a watch. It has understandably less depth than what Ms. Belkin writes, but catches the drama and conditions in a way that rings true.
