Praise for this book

Professor Sheckels' book begins to fill a large void in political communication scholarship. The case studies demonstrate the importance of looking beyond U.S. borders to gain a better understanding of our own rhetorical traditions and their influence on world rhetoric, as well as the unique cultural influences that distinguish such rhetoric from American politicians'. In a global society, it is important that scholars provide tools for promoting a better understanding of world politics, and Sheckels' case studies show how that can be done.
