How to Win an Argument by Marcus Tullius Cicero

Timeless techniques of effective public speaking from ancient Rome's greatest orator
"Drawing on his extensive experience as a scholar and teacher of classical rhetoric, May (classics, StOlaf College) brings together excerpts from Cicero's extensive contribution to rhetorical theory and practice to examine the theme 'how to win an argument.' One cannot find a better guide than Cicero... A delightful and accessible foray into an enduring, relevant art."--Choice
James M. May is professor of classics, the Kenneth O. Bjork Distinguished Professor, and former provost and dean at St. Olaf College. An award-winning teacher, he is a widely recognized expert on Cicero and classical rhetoric and has written and edited many books on these topics. He lives in Northfield, Minnesota.
