- Summary:
- The Politics Book" is a snapshot of how the language of politics has developed. It has always been the richest of languages, because of the vivid way in which many of our politicians express themselves, from the sound-bites with which they woo the voters to the devastating put-downs they use on each other. If a week in politics is a long time, twelve years is an eternity. It is that long since "Brewer's Politics," the precursor of this volume, first appeared, and in that time the lexicon has grown exponentially.
- Nicholas Comfort is a government relations consultant and author of "How to Handle the Media.
