内容説明
`funny, striking, thought-provoking and incisive ...will appeal to those browsing through it as least as much as to those who wish to use it as a work of reference' Observer `Completely captures the comic aspect of politics while still presenting some serious messages ...It is hard to stop browsing once you start' Daily Mail `This reader devoured it from cover to cover, discovering ...some excellent and unfamiliar quotations ...it fills a serious gap.' Financial Times `Marshalled with wit and meticulous attribution of sources' Guardian `full of good one-liners ' Sunday Telegraph This lively and illuminating dictionary presents a vintage crop of over 4,000 quotations reflecting every facet of political life. Examples range from the pivotal and momentous to the rhetorical, the sincere, the bemused, the tongue-in-cheek, and the downright rude, with memorable words from the old hands as well as from contemporary politicians. `Politics is just like showbusiness, you have a hell of an opening, coast for a while and then have a hell of a close.' Ronald Reagan `A big cat detained briefly in a poodle parlour, sharpening her claws on the velvet.'
Matthew Parris of Lady Thatcher in the House of Lords This book is intended for journalists; writers; politicians; speech-writers; anyone with an interest in politics from classical and biblical times to the present day.
