"Delightful and illuminating.... Words Like Loaded Pistols sports a fabulous assortment of examples of time-tested rhetorical gambits in action.... The marvel is not that the old techniques still work, but that we ever persuaded ourselves that we could do without them."-- Salon, "Leithbrings to life a forgotten but eternally essential subject.... Leith uses everytool in the rhetorician's arsenal to argue for rhetoric's continuing relevance....Readers will gain a great deal of insight into how humans use communication toget what they want...the book fulfills Cicero's three objectives of rhetoric:'to move, educate, and delight.'"-- Kirkus Reviews, "In this entertaining work of scholarship, Sam Leith revives the powerful discipline of classical rhetoric.... Leith is a gifted listener, and will not only tell you that 'Friends, Romans, countrymen' is a swelling tricolon but also which power ballad's opening bars it most resembles (AC/DC's Back in Black: 'DUM! DUH-dum! DUH-dum-dum!')"-- London Evening Standard (UK), The London Evening Standard (UK) "In this entertaining work of scholarship, Sam Leith revives the powerful discipline of classical rhetoric....

The Observer (UK) "Leith attempts to reclaim rhetoric with a breezy book that sprays around examples from history, politics and popular culture to outline the building blocks of public speech, flitting happily from Cicero to J-Lo, from Hitler to Homer Simpson.... Leith's often engaging examples lighten any sense of learning." The Financial Times (UK) "It is through a welter of colloquial examples and eccentric line readings that the book really comes alive.... While the formal study of rhetoric might have collapsed under its own weight, Leith offers a slimmed-down version that is sure to enlighten.", "Timedfor a presidential election year, this sassy, smart book outlines andillustrates nearly every rhetorical trope and flourish related to the art ofpersuasion.... Leith can be fiendishly entertaining."-- Publishers Weekly, "Engrossing.... When it comes to Obama, Leith's scrutiny is painstakingand he is especially illuminating on Obama's debts to Abraham Lincoln andMartin Luther King."-- Independent (UK), "A highly entertaining and erudite whisk through the subject[of rhetoric]....

Metro (UK) "Riveting.... Leith makes the classical techniques of rhetoric irresistibly accessible." Professionally Speaking (blog) "A magnificently entertaining romp through the intricacies of classic rhetorical technique from Aristotle to Obama.... The genius of the book...is the irreverent and humorous range of examples he calls on to illustrate rhetoric in action." The Week (UK edition) "Leith is good on tropes and registers and equally good at picking apart speeches -- as his subtitle says, From Aristotle to Obama -- to show us how they work.... [he] is good, too, on the structure of political speeches." Spectator (UK) "Elegant, concise and frequently very funny." Independent (UK) "Engrossing....

Synopsis
"An entertaining history of great oratory" and a primer to rhetoric's key techniques ( The New Yorker) . Rhetoric gives our words the power to inspire. But it's not just for politicians: it's all around us, whether you're buttering up a key client or persuading your children to eat their vegetables. You have been using rhetoric yourself, all your life. After all, you know what a rhetorical question is, don't you? In Words Like Loaded Pistols , Sam Leith traces the art of argument from ancient Greece down to its many modern mutations. He introduces verbal villains from Hitler to Richard Nixon--and the three musketeers: ethos, pathos and logos. He explains how rhetoric works in speeches from Cicero to Obama, and pays tribute to the rhetorical brilliance of AC/DC's "Back In Black". Before you know it, you'll be confident in chiasmus and proud of your panegyrics-- because rhetoric is useful, relevant, and absolutely nothing to be afraid of., "An entertaining history of great oratory" and a primer to rhetoric's key techniques ( The New Yorker) . In Words Like Loaded Pistols , Sam Leith traces the art of persuasion, beginning in ancient Syracuse and taking us up to the Twitterverse. Along the way, he follows detours as varied and fascinating as Elizabethan England, Milton's Satanic realm, the Springfield of Abraham Lincoln and the Springfield of Homer Simpson. He explains how language has been used by the great heroes of rhetoric (such as Cicero and Martin Luther King Jr.), as well as some villains (like Adolf Hitler and Richard Nixon.) You'll find out how to build your own memory-palace; you'll be introduced to the Three Musketeers: Ethos, Pathos and Logos; and you'll learn how to use chiasmus with confidence and occultation without thinking about it. Most importantly of all, you will discover that rhetoric is useful, relevant -- and something you can master., A hilariously entertaining exploration of how people have taught, practiced and thought about rhetoric--the art of persuasion--from Aristotle to Obama.
