Oxford Dictionary of Political Quotations

by Antony Jay (Editor)

This revised new edition provides 5,000 quotations, covering the people, events, and ideas of some 2,500 years of the inspiring speeches and the disastrous gaffes. Antony Jay has selected the best sayings of and about politicians both past and present, ranging from Karl Marx to
George W. Bush and "Boss" Tweed to Condoleeza Rice, and touching on subjects as diverse as warfare, nationalism, honesty, and the ever-sensitive issue of taxation.

Newspaper headlines, slogans, and other special categories are grouped together for easier access, and an extensive index helps you find out who really said that half-remembered phrase. The third edition of the Oxford Dictionary of Political Quotations is a blend of noted historical utterances and
sound bites of up-to-the-minute events such as the British and US elections, 9/11, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
