Why is political rhetoric broken–and how can it be fixed? Ranging from Cicero's Rome to modern polarization, Words on Fire is a new history of eloquence from political theorist and speechwriter Rob Goodman. It offers a powerful critique of today's political language–and shows how the struggle over the meaning of eloquence has shaped our world.
