Trade Review
"Bill Safire's collection of galvanizing speeches ancient and modern is wonderfully done, the taste in the selection eclectic, discriminating, piquant, and enchantingly introduced. Makes for wonderful reading." -- William F. Buckley, Jr.
"This is the most valuable kind of book, the kind that benefits mind and heart.... My fellow Americans, Safire is a gem." -- Peggy Noonan
"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
