It’s been almost 11 months since I interviewed Warren Kinsella about his book The War Room, and this is just one of many of the interviews I have in queue to be posted pending me writing something down about them- I’m a man of great ambitions, but easily distracted. Anyway, this seems as good a time as any to get this one up.
My abrigid thoughts: I really enjoyed the book- Kinsella is an engaging story teller, and this book aptly shows that. It was pitched at the time as more of a “how to”, and to an extent it is, but the “how” is all in a series of anecdotes and examples, mostly from his own experience, but some from elsewhere, notably James Carville. Essentially, if you dig his blog, you’ll probably like this.
As an aside- remembering that this was recorded 11 months ago- note that Kinsella suggests that there is a certain amount of foolishness in how the Tories were prepping their War Room. That seems pretty prescient after a month of election.
