Political Director Rocky Fernandez's Top 5 political book recommendations:

1) "Hardball" by Chris Matthews-Think of him what you will, but this is a bible for aspiring political minds.

2) "A Rage For Justice" by John Jacobs - The bio of the late Rep. Phil Burton, D - San Francisco. As a leader of the San Francisco Young Democrats, he helped turn San Francisco into a Democratic bastion. As a Congressman, he masterfully brokered deals and came one vote shy of becoming Majority Leader.

3) "Against All Enemies" by Richard Clarke - Want to know what the government has been doing to fight terrorism for the last 20 years and what happened on and after September 11th? Read this.

4) "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" by Joe Trippi - a great review of the grassroots populist campaign of Howard Dean and how political campaigns were changed forever by it.

5) "Professor Wellstone Goes To Washington" by Dennis McGrath and Dane Smith - Many have read the late Sen. Wellstone's book but this one walks you through Wellstone's improbably successful campaign and re-election to the Senate, from two of MN's top political reporters.
