In this eloquent analysis of eloquence, Roderick Hart pulls out all the stops to diagnose, to redeem, and even to measure. Eloquence can be unsafe and even illegal, but it can also save us. Itself a compendium of eloquent remarks by others (and the author), this book might be just what is needed as American democracy hangs in the balance. -- John Durham Peters, coauthor of <i>Promiscuous Knowledge: Information, Image, and Other Truth Games in History</i>
