While I agree it could be an important read, I would say not to allow your money filter its way into the hands of people that sell the book.
It is readily summarized on any number of websites and there is at least one copy at the library.
I gave it a look myself a few weeks back.
If you want some other frightening reads, LPL also has Cass Sunstein's (the Regulatory Czar) Nudge and Van Jones' (former Green Jobs Czar) Green Collar Economy.

Saul Alinsky first gained popularity in the late 60s and early 70s.
Has he recently been rediscovered?
Remember the Great O'Hare bean-in?
