Thanks to a certain novel and movie franchise, the Jurassic Period has been indelibly cemented in the public imagination as the time of dinosaurs. That was certainly true: the Jurassic Period saw reptiles such as the long-necked Brachiosaurus, the armored Stegosaurus, and the fearsome Allosaurus become the dominant living creatures on planet Earth, a position they maintained for more than 150 million years.

Pare che Lucio Sergio Catilina, di nascita nobile e dalla carriera torbida, temprato nella ferocia delle guerre civili, sia approdato a questa convinzione, proclamata in una riunione segreta di suoi seguaci, quando ormai si accingeva, nell’anno 63 a.C., all’ultima, celebre, perdente battaglia contro l’oligarchia. Infiltrati vi erano anche nella sua cerchia. Così, il servizio di spionaggio agli ordini del console a lui più avverso, Marco Tullio Cicerone, prontamente divulgò quel proclama, subito giudicato come una minaccia.

In this book, renowned rhetorical scholar Robin Reames argues that, in today's polarized political climate, we should all care deeply about learning rhetoric. Drawing on examples ranging from the destructive ancient Greek demagogue Alcibiades to modern-day conspiracists like Alex Jones, Reames breaks down the major techniques of rhetoric, pulling back the curtain on how politicians, journalists, and "journalists" convince us to believe what we believe—and to talk, vote, and act accordingly.
