Description
Rhetoric is the art of using words to persuade and inspire. It's not just for politicians, but a skill we use every day, from negotiating with clients to convincing our children to eat their vegetables. In this updated edition, Sam Leith explores the history of argument from ancient Greece to its modern forms, revealing how rhetoric works in speeches and introducing key concepts like ethos, pathos, and logos.
