Critics Review
“To teach and to please, some Greek once advised, is the function of great rhetoric, and Safire has put together [a] volume that embod[ies] those functions and their power.”
“This is the most valuable kind of book, the kind that benefits mind and heart… My fellow Americans, Safire is a gem.” – Peggy Noonan “A wonderful book.” – David Brinkley “A collection of diverse and stimulating historical and contemporary speeches that will prove a godsend to the student and a windfall to the librarian… Nothing less than comprehensive.” – Library Journal “To teach and to please, some Greek once advised, is the function of great rhetoric, and Safire has put together [a] volume that embod[ies] those functions and their power.” – Booklist
